I enjoyed this essay collection---especially the first few. I related so much to the way the author developed in her politics. Kreizman is really good at setting you in a time period in her writing. She jumps you around through the 80s to the 2000s but really puts your feet on the ground with cultural and technological references.

The book felt a little short and the essays seemed shorter and less impactful as you moved through. Though, that may be on purpose? There were a few punchy story drops (the cringe from the fingering story! ah) that I feel would have been less impactful if they were elaborated on.

Thank you NetGalley for sending an advanced copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. I had pre-ordered this book beforehand and after reading I am still looking forward to owning a copy.

Maris Kreizman is one of my favorite book reviewers,when I’m looking for something new to read she always has great suggestions.I really enjoyed reading her debut collection of essays.From her childhood her entry to the world of publishing and falling in love she is open real and I enjoyed getting to know the woman behind the reviews.#netgalley #ecco

I liked this book of essays quite a lot, but it honestly seemed too short - the notes section was so lengthy that I was surprised by the end of the book! The essays in this are thought provoking and smart, I'd just like to hear more from the author.
