I'll Tell You in Person by Chloe Caldwell

maybe i'm projecting, but in these essays i got the impression of a sort of ditzy manic-pixie-dream-girl cover barely holding down a cauldron of rage. this made me wonder if the secret of every manic pixie dream girl (sorry to keep using that terrible term) is repressed anger? which was interesting, but i would be even more interested to see all that rage burn free! like i think there is a searing genius here wrapped in a blanket of likability and i just want see what happens if it were to hulk out? but i might have the wrong idea... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
