In short, Rebecca has seen it all--from 3 bedbug infestations, to being fired, to being yelled at while working at American Apparel, to losing all her stuff in a freak fire, to being bullied online by angry Taylor Swift fans. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the real humor and meat of the collection come from Rebecca's unwavering honesty and unflinching examination of her struggles with alcohol, anxiety, depression, compulsive lying, female beauty standards, and a slew of failed cowoker\/roommate\/friend semi-relationships are dark, insightful, and hilarious. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Jia Tolentino commented, the era of the personal essay ended with the election--this is not your grandmother's millennial essay collection. Rebecca's writing is relatable without being preachy and conveys a message of resilience by example, not by moral.
