This is a nibbling book, not a reading-straight-through book

I love Fran, but this material does not date well.

genuinely giggled at a lot of these bits, i aspire to be such a well spoken hater. that being said some jokes just didn’t land for me as i am deeply in my soul not a new york girly, but i think i sort of appreciated the challenge of disagreeing w her. i’ve def placed fran on a pedestal in my mind and some of these essays complicated that for sure. like i went from being scared she wouldn’t like me to being pretty positive she wouldn’t like me, but i think that helps me appreciate her writing more.

First, I consider Fran Lebowtz to be a national treasure, but man, this collection of essays. Many are so dated as to be painful.
