3.0

I went back-and-forth on this book, chapter to chapter and even paragraph to paragraph. It definitely had some laugh out loud moments but it’s also very much written in that snarky style that was so popular on the Internet from the late 90s until around 2010. That tracks because that’s literally what she did for a living, but it was problematic then and there’s spots in this book it’s problematic now. It has this tone of simultaneously being self deprecating but also acting above everyone. Much of the humor comes from putting down others, which still has some funny bits, but mostly comes across as really defensive. I’m 37 which puts me around 15 or so years younger than the author, and I’m sure she would say that all of my criticism is because I’m a millennial… which could be true? Mostly I got bored and got some whiplash going between chapters that were endlessly about her weight and then about feminism.
