Little Weirds by Jenny Slate

1.0

---

I'm a fan of Jenny Slate, but had a hard time finishing this book. The essays are often so steeped in metaphor that I'd forget what she'd been talking about in the first place. There is so little that is concrete and substantive. She also overused certain images, which became irritating. For instance, a variation of "my tiny, little mouth" was used several times. This book felt like a vehicle to say, "I am weird and adorable and special." Not very compelling.
