Tropical Attire Encouraged by Alison Rosen
3.0

(Won through a Goodreads giveaway! Thank you to Creators Publishing for providing me a free e-copy.)

To be fair, I don’t listen to Alison Rosen’s podcast or follow her on social media, so I didn’t have that level of initial investment/attachment. She’s definitely funny and fairly relatable, but there’s also an unaddressed level of privilege; it doesn’t seem like a stretch to say she’s living and working in a bubble — sure, it’s a lighthearted collection based on her own personal experiences, rather than an analytical social commentary, but in this day and age “funny and relatable” doesn’t seem to be enough on its own anymore.
