This didn't really work for me - the essays were haphazardly structured, with various little rabbit-holes followed and the links never really feeling coherent or leaving me satisfied. I was partly put off by the second essay in which Brett is horrified by her daughter coming out to her - her honesty is impressive, but her inability to really process or accept her daughter's sexuality left me pretty unsympathetic to the rest of the book.
