[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shit, Actually by Lindy West. The audiobook cracked me up. Must love snark.[/quote] I loved Shrill (some parts made me laugh out loud) and her NYT op-eds. Her voice was so fresh. I tried reading her next book and her sub stack and they just seemed to be reaching or trying so hard to be relevant. I remember after Shrill got popular, she gave an interview about how she didn't like reading her initial movie reviews that made her famous (e.g., Love Actually) because she was just being mean and snarky in them, focusing on the worst parts of movies, and appealing to people's desires to be judgy and condescending. But now I feel like she has returned to that just because it's a way to make money. Nothing wrong with that I guess? But I do feel her talent was wasted.[/quote]
