I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one. I went in with the impression that it would be more essay than memoir, and it was kind of the opposite. 

There are some good points and discussions within the book, but as soon as she gets into deeper analysis, she pulls out of it and comes back to a surface-level point. For example, the whole book ends with saying that capitalism is the problem, so individuals can’t be held responsible. It seems like she is getting somewhere, but then just copes out instead. I wonder if she was more concerned with marketing the book rather than actually making a point or discussing it. She does talk about funding monsters by buying their art, and she discusses many different kinds of monsters, but she doesn't stick the landing. Maybe she would have written the ending differently today with the recent JKR-funded anti-trans legislation. But I'm sure there are examples like that from before this book was out.

When I first started reading, it also felt very “not like other girls,” and at points it goes one step further and seems like she is describing feminism as just man-hating or pointing fingers rather than doing any real work. I think the author needed to unpack her views of women/feminism a bit more before writing this book, or, if this isn't what she meant, it needed to be better edited. 

Overall, I'm not sure where I stand because I’m not actually sure what the point was. In my opinion, this needed to be cleaned up and clarified rather than left open. The book has some good points, but overall, it's just surface-level without enough substance. I wouldn’t recommend reading it.
