Wow. Honestly if I read one more misspelled (but checked by computer) book I shall explode. Great review. I’m not in favour of book burning, usually, but this drivel needs to be eliminated.
I realize this is tangential to the point of the first chapter but the phrase "an old-fashioned, analog, gritty kind of beep" is absolutely throwing me. I have never heard of someone describing an analog alarm clock as beeping before. Ringing, sure, but not beeping. Given how she describes the frequency of the beeping changing, I'm guessing this is a digital alarm clock. Does Lindy West not know the difference between analog and digital? I suppose the use of analog could be metaphor, but that would require accepting that I'm the stupid one here, and I refuse to accept that.
Oh I’m seated
Sitting my white ass down and listening

I'm glad my only long term engagement with therapy as an adult was CPT which is just learning that your brain is actually really dumb
