This was a truly enjoyable read. I wasn’t sure what to expect of this book but in the end it’s just a very relatable piece of literature, there’s very little importance in the names of the people because in the end they’re all conveying a feeling or participating in some anecdote, which isn’t inherently bad. I think this book is not as self aware as it shows and that the word feminist is used way too often and devoid of meaning.
I like the little recipes and the invitations to the events, she’s really good at evoking these different feelings through specific images or like metaphors, it’s truly interesting.
This book reminds me of The Details, in the sense that it touches on girlhood and the role that other people have in creating your personality, specially towards the end, when she has a more mature view on it but where The Details focuses on the little things, this book only tries to evoke a general feeling, relatability.
