I couldn’t get behind her. It felt like she was complaining the whole time.

My goodness, I love this book. Kent seamlessly blends humor, vulnerability, and theory. Some of the passages would pack such an emotional gut punch that tears would instantly spring to my eyes. And then other passages would describe romance and sex so beautifully that I would be giggling and kicking my feet. Can't recommend enough!

4.0
I've read some of Kent's work around the internet, so was definitely interested in her upcoming memoir/essays. It's a great collection of essays where she unpacks everything that happened to her growing up as a first-generation American in an immigrant household with abusive parents, a religious environment that contributed to her desire to get the hell out of dodge ASAP, and coming into her own in college/post-grad. The book does feel like it sort of ends right as Kent gets going, but she is still a young woman so I look forward to see what she does from here.
All the CW for abuse, fatphobia, racism, colorism, sexism, misogyny, queerphobia.
But also, she's wickedly funny. If you like Samantha Irby's style, you'll like Kent's (although there are less poop episodes, iykyk).
