This book unfortunately is a victim of false advertising. While the stories from the author are entertaining and raunchy, I was hoping for more pop culture analysis about all things tacky!

More a memoir than a reflection on tacky culture.

I had high hopes for this book but it didn't live up. As a reader I really enjoy essays and critique of  culture. However, this didn't really feel like that after the first few chapters. It felt a little bit more like reading someone's diary but not in a fun way. I applaud Rax for being so open and the moments when she did juxtapose culture with her experiences were well done - but too much of the box wasn't that.

Enjoyable while reading (listening), but ultimately I've forgotten what King wrote/her overall thesis. Suppose I wasn't paying close enough attention? Might also be that I just didn't have the same sort of childhood/adolescence/young adulthood as King?
