Wow, No Thank You. by Samantha Irby
Did not finish book. Stopped at 51%.

There seemed to be no point to the endless raging the author was making. Raging at things is all fine and good so long as you channel it in a constructive way and use it to teach yourself something or overcome something. Raging to rage is not my style. The 11 minutes (at 2x speed - 22 minutes at 1x!) of “sex is fun but,” got old fast. Relating easily relatable joys to how fun they are to sex is fun until it’s not and then sex is more fun.
