Professor Weasel's Reviews > little scratch

The risks the author took in terms of writing this are very clear - it's a courageous book in form, style, and theme. In many ways, it is DARING you to find it self-indulgent, which is an interesting position to put the reader in (and one that some readers won't be able to handle). Dare to take me seriously, the book is saying (at least to me). Often enough, young women are not taken seriously, are not listened to. It is for this reason the book left an impression on me, and that deserves credit and acknowledgement. It made me think of this David Graeber quote: "If we really want to understand the moral grounds of economic life, and, by extension, human life, it seems to me that we must start instead with the very small things." I would be interested in seeing what the author writes next.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy, which was provided in exchange for an honest review.
