The whole collection is excellent, but the essay on HPV is required reading.

I loved this essay collection so much that I am passing it along to my BFF with a note telling her exactly which essays she must read and which ones she should read if she has a chance. Funny. Serious. Irreverent. Just great.

I adored this collection. So smart and so detailed with such heart, too. I've already recommended it to two friends, and now I'm recommending it to you.

I laughed out loud so many times. Elizabeth is so open, self-aware, confident and inquisitive. I especially loved the last essay, Hymn. Made me nostalgic for an experience I’ve never had.
