minimouse2105 's review for:
The Rules Do Not Apply
by Ariel Levy
I enjoyed Ariel's writing style as a whole, so much so that I remembered her NYT personal essay being mentioned by another personal essayist and put two-and-two together that this was the same woman.
I felt a little disoriented about where I was at as I read the book because I was pushed and pulled into several timelines. Also, some of the things I read about her ideals for "all women" pulled me out of the memoir too to go ehhh...
I'm a sucker for any "rebel against the man, ladies!" books, and this one's writing and rawness really made it a joy to read. But the structure and some of the points made within themselves dropped it down a couple stars for me.
