My Misspent Youth: Essays by Meghan Daum

1.0

I Hated this book. Which is a funny thing to say, seeing as how the thing that bugged me about the book was how relentlessly negative and judgmental Daum was about almost every subject she undertook. By the end, I was just so weary of her hating/being better than everything, I couldn't wait for it to be over. Which was a shame, because the last essay was written (formatted?) really interestingly and appealingly, but the emotions involved were just so repulsive, that after the whole book of approximately zero self-awareness, it didn't matter. Maybe all this was meant as satire? I'm not convinced. Also, my e-copy was typo-riddled, just making things worse.
