Her show by the same name moved me beyond words in the book did not disappoint. Given everything that’s happened culturally since 2016 some of it feels dated but only because the world turned on its head since she wrote this. That said so much of the changes she talks about are still in place. I do think the world is somehow kinder or at least more open..?

This book is full of beautiful, righteous anger. I was so active on Jezebel in the mid-2000s. Lindy’s work was a pivotal part of my young womanhood. She was born just three years before me, and our lives were so far apart, but so similar, as she wrote. I have also spent a lifetime feeling too big too much too … everything. So, while much of the writing style of that time was often aggressive or snarky, it made me stop giving a fuck quite so intensely. I’m grateful for the courage of her words and for her too-muchness. If I’m too much, go find less.
