2.5 stars
Skips half a decade, no mentions of the late 90s.
Kim Gordon? Liv Tyler? Janet Jackson? Gwen Stefani??

And inadvertently calls GiGi Hadid as "The new Marilyn Monroe" ???what??

Essential read but needs more queer representation and could stand to have more women of color. More latinx, more Asian, just more. This book could be double in size.

A questionable and uneven selection, I would say. Interesting to take a look, but I wouldn't put much value in the information inside.
