I must be a terrible person for finding this book lame and annoying rather than sad and wonderful. It got its own share of grief, but not a masterpiece for me.
(And I must be insane not to find Patrick Ness's writing gorgeous and perfect.)

This book was so good. But at the same time so white, so heterosexual, so cis. Whereas many essays had a bold message and truly moving approach on important matters related to feminism, it lacked the intersectional part it loudly and proudly kept repeating. Only one chapter being an interview with Laverne Cox cannot do much good in the cis sea of privilege. And I still keep wondering where are all the lesbians at. All the bi women. Ace. Aro. Queer.
Praise for the privileged woman side of things concerning becoming and being a feminist, but this book needed to be much more in order to achieve more.

What an amazing children book. Is there anything Sylvia Plath couldn't write.

A very charming collection. Quite ironically the eponymous short story was the least interesting, but all in all. A gay lecture.

Bull. Shit.

How could a boring book turn into a masterpiece in the last 150 pages, it's beyond my understanding, but it happened.
