The Misfit's Manifesto by Lidia Yuknavitch

4.0

This is a pretty special book. We can get so caught up in the lives we lead or the lives we think we want to lead instead of choosing to be who we really are. There are many personal accounts and stories presented here worth reading. Some of it is so vulnerable and present that it felt like I was actually connecting with these people more than some people I sit across from in person. I wonder, though, if just "misfits" feel that way.

Although I thought the author was assuming with her perspective or whatever she was trying to point out at certain times, it was something I could eventually look past. It almost felt that as the book progressed, the author got more comfortable with her voice - Or perhaps, I as the reader got more comfortable with her voice.

What this book gives us is actually quite simple: Real people. People who may feel like they have trouble finding themselves or connecting with others and sharing their experiences with us.
