So Sad Today: Personal Essays by Melissa Broder

4.0

---

This collection of essays is raw and honest and dark but also funny and self-aware and relatable too. My favorites were "Google Hangout with My Higher Self" ("Higher self: it seems like u r scared of containing multitudes, tbh") and "Under the Anxiety is Sadness but Who Would Go Under There" ("Shouldn't someone have said, 'Enjoy your ocean of sadness, there is nothing to fear in it,' so I didn't have to build all those dams?").
