The results have been ... mixed. Nonetheless, Maeve still believes she's one pair of leather pants, one perfect use of the word \"bespoke,\" and one jar of expensive olives away from self-actualization. She'll never stop trying, no matter how bespoke things get (was that right?).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Maeve shares her own misadventures--like the time she quietly endured a ruptured appendix at McDonald's so she wouldn't come off as dramatic--and explores the universal desire to belong. She invites readers into her world of One Direction fanfiction authorship and passive-aggressive yogurt mind games, detailing the anxieties that come with living in an age of constant visibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth cringe-inducing and uproarious, \u003cem\u003eRead This To Look Cool\u003c\/em\u003e is a deeply relatable meditation on the absurdity inherent in the constant performance of ourselves, offering a fresh perspective on self-love and the true meaning of cool.
