My last finished book of 2023.
I think I've read too many books with people who talk about still liking content that they know is kinda sorta problematic but at the time where this book came out it was something that we needed to take a minute to think about. I remember the peak era of call out feminism and there's definitely a few things I would have liked to have seen enter the discourse back then.
There's a segment about trigger warnings which I found somewhat tedious and that's where my reading notes ended.
Ultimately it wasn't an unpleasant read (Gay has an engaging writing style and there's a great flow to the book) and there were definitely interesting moments and quotable lines but it was so largely about pop culture and aged that it ended up being a mostly just okay read. I agree with Gay that maxi dresses are the best though.
3.25-5/5 rounded down.
