5.0

A whirlwind tour through one messed-up woman's early adulthood, Gender Theory's sparse yet evocative second person prose make the reader feel as if they are being addressed directly. This is such an intimate and painful (in a good way) reading experience, that will have anyone whose erratic behaviour has destroyed a friendship, relationshp or job oppurtunity cringing with empathy and frustration.
