This book was phenomenal and deeply relatable (me: white, middle class, Christian, millennial). Much of the content isn't original per se, unless it is about the author's personal life, but the author has a way of synthesizing and collaging feminist theory and the undercurrent of current events in a way that is revealing and clarifying.

The writing itself is dense, yet accessible, and it doesn't slow down. I was never bored. I really liked her style of weaving and sampling different stories together that seemed to have nothing to do with each other at the outset. I was also impressed at how self-aware the author is--she frequently admits her personal participation, with details, in the societal problem being discussed, and that open admission invites the reader to examine their own participation in the issue.

I thought all the essays were fascinating, but my favorite essays were:
The I in the Internet
Always Be Optimizing
The Story of a Generation in Seven Scams

I think there should be a trigger warning before "We Come from Old Virginia" because getting surprised by rape stories on my morning commute was awful. It was a fantastic essay, though.
