Schadenfreude: The Joy of Another's Misfortune by Tiffany Watt Smith
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book for honest review. :)
I'm not sure this book was for me.
The subject matter was interesting to me because I had never heard of the term "Schadenfreude" before, but I realized quickly that it's something I've felt many times, to my shame. Or not. The author does an excellent job of reassuring the reader that it's something that a lot of people feel.
I liked the examples of schadenfreude included in in each chapter; some of them were really funny and had me feeling the sentiment as well. A bit too repetitive for my taste and there were some names mentioned that I assumed I was supposed to know but didn't. *shrug*
