It's Hard Not to Hate You: A Memoir by Valerie Frankel

3.0

It's hard not to hate Valerie Frankel. Ok that was an obvious joke, but it's kind of true. I was really unsure whether her point was to let all the anger out; don't bottle it up because it could very well kill you. Or, recognize you have anger and try to deal with it. I saw a lot of mixed messages in this book. The other reason why I "hate" Frankel is because she acts so self dejecting while at the same time name dropping left and right. Sure she shields the identity of some, but it's usually when she's going on about her writing career. She's had some hardships in her life, but ultimately most are all white people problems. About half way through the book I wanted to just yell over and over to "get over it!"
