leahparke 's review for:

And Then? and Then? What Else? by Daniel Handler

2.0

---

It's difficult for me to figure out how many stars to give this one; it's more for the writers (I am just a normie reader). Many of the essays outline inspiration, process, how Handler "got here". The whole thing is very candid, bordering on oversharing. Handler also uses some ink to defend? explain? justify? some of his past questionable behavior in a way that's icky. I do appreciate Handler's openness about his mental health and some other tough topics, but it's overshadowed by the rest.

Thank you, Liveright and Netgalley, for an advance ebook in exchange for a fair review.
