There were a handful of really good essays in this collection, but I am not really fond of Roxanne Gay’s writing. I thought many of the essays lacked an overall strong message or sometimes she’d share  multiple examples of an idea but wouldn’t connect them together to make a wholistic argument. I also think a lot of the media references have become pretty outdated unfortunately.  I wanted to give this book a try since it is so popular and I do appreciate many of Roxanne Gay’s ideas, but overall, I was underwhelmed. I think if you are well versed in feminist literature you might feel the same way.
