dark emotional funny inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing sad fast-paced

5.0

If you are a slutty millennial who loves Sophocles as much as you love the Sims, this book is for you. I ate up this book of essays in four days. Rax's voice is witty and intelligent and never pretentious. Feels like reminiscing about middle school with your coolest friend over martinis.

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?
