Shame on You: How to Be a Woman in the Age of Mortification by Melissa Petro

informative medium-paced

3.0

I agree with other reviews that have stated that the book felt a bit lost on if it wanted to be a memoir or not. 

I found it difficult at times to know if she was talking about herself or her friends. I also would have loved to know more about the manner in which she gathered the stories she referenced. Were these just people she knew? 

All in all, I feel like I liked the book well enough to finish it. If I were to offer recommendations though, I think I would refer people to some of the books she references as opposed to encouraging them to read this book specifically.
