Lonely: A Memoir by Emily White

4.0

(3.5) I enjoyed this book and admired the author's honesty, but I think the "memoir" subtitle is misleading. It's maybe 1/3 memoir and 2/3 reviews of research, reflections on loneliness, etc. The "memoir" seems to be the framework to try to organize the other information. There are places where it gets repetitious (could have used more editing). I do think that it's courageous, well researched, and hopefully it will generate more discussion about this important topic.
