After enjoying West's cultural critique, The Witches Are Coming, I bought this book at a second-hand store because I wanted to read more of her writing. Unfortunately, as many essay collections do, Shrill has just not aged well. West makes many references to the HP franchise and applauds the work of fellow comedian Louis C.K. In addition to this title being dated, I felt that Shrill was not organized well, and a few chapters needed to be edited. It felt more like I was reading a rough draft rather than a polished edited book. If you are interested in West's work, I would recommend The Witches Are Coming over this title as that book is more culturally relevant and put together.
