Not at all what I was expecting to read. While I sympathize with everything that the author has experienced and endured, this was a very political book that showed clear bias one way while the author herself claims to be apolitical.

I think she does make some great points especially when discussing performative activism on the side of the left; however, I take issue with the fact that although the same issues can be said of the right, she only draws from examples from the left and compares “woke culture” to the North Korean regime.

For example, she talks about how many people in the helping professions I.e teachers tend to lean left and through this kids are being indoctrinated in schools . Nowhere does she bring up book bans, whitewashed history, and other means of suppression that comes from the right. There are many more example such as this though the book.

Even with that being said, I’m not upset that I read this book as I think the author offers a unique perspective; however, I think the book could have been more balanced, and offered more facts as opposed to anecdotal evidence when explaining key points.
