I'll Tell You in Person by Chloe Caldwell

2.0

This was okay. I enjoyed the essays, but none of them were exceptional. They were mostly indistinguishable from other essay collections about being a twenty-something written from the perspective of a white woman. Totally on me since I'm the one who picked this out, but I found it hard to relate to and was just bored of the same stories over and over again. Also, was super put off by the essay where the author fawns over a certain famous celebrity writer (I won't spoil who it is, but it's not that hard to fio) whose own brand of white feminism I just can't get behind.

Overall a fine read but left me craving more diverse stories moving forward.
