A review by anniefwrites
Shrill by Lindy West

dark funny inspiring reflective fast-paced
There's no doubt that Lindy West has a strong, impassioned voice. Her honesty in the face of a great deal of trauma is really remarkable. I especially loved the parts where she untangled the knots of grief and lessons learned in childhood. Some of the essays just made me... so angry?? Which I guess is the point, but man, I can't believe so many humans are so awful. The story about talking to her troll was really moving, and I wish it was a more common occurrence. A solid, bold read.
