Skip Hollandsworth is such a phenomenal journalist and Texas Monthly regularly puts out some of the best longform stories out there. I wished there were a few more stories to the book (I could spend all day reading his work), but each one was compelling.

Skip Hollandsworth is such a phenomenal journalist and his article on Peggy Jo Tallas is so endearing and heartfelt that I cried a little on the train this morning after reading it. I feel like he gets to such a deep level of care with his subjects that I don't often see

Frustrated with the amount of exposition but will continue on

Committing a major journalism ethics violation by making out with the person you're profiling..............let's see how this goes

Red flag level high at James "not want[ing] dancing" at their wedding. Like??? Ok no one is allowed to dance? IT'S A WEDDING

So skeevy, so harrowing, so witchy, I'm OBSESSED

All I wanna do is read this book even when Chris is venturing into uneasy territory

Endlessly fascinated by Chris's ability to create characters that are 1:1 avatars of both the people in her life and herself. But we have hit the infamous Landlord Chapter and we shall see how that holds up

This can be aggravating at times to read but I really loved seeing Lindy West at the WBUR Festival and enjoyed "Shrill" back when it first came out so I'm sticking with it... it's interesting because I find the writing frustrating in ways I did not expect but I'll save it for the full review

Was ambivalent leaning towards negative about this book and then Everything Changed and I'm obsessed with it

ok understanding the controversy behind this a little clearer now!

I am under duress

INSANE, blatant Lana del Rey fanfiction...obsessed

Nothing I love more than a completely weird woman protagonist and this DELIVERS

this is so good so far!!
