About this listen

The debut book from the authors behind the global media sensation Shit You Should Care About.

Shit You Should Care about was launched as a WordPress blog by three best friends in the back of a political science lecture. Today, it's a global ecosystem of content - two podcasts, 3.5 million Instagram followers and a daily newsy. They are your culture vultures, news agents and (reluctant) agony aunts all rolled into one.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE is a collage of cultural analysis, anecdotes, personal essays, poems and lists, interplayed like a conversation between friends. So sharp they'll make you wince, so honest that you might feel uncomfortable with what's reflecting back at you, so funny you'll want to take a photo and send it to your best friend.

It's the bedside table essential for women who've felt their way through life and want that experience reflected back at them. When everything feels like it's whooshing away in an endless scroll, MAKE IT MAKE SENSE holds the answers (or questions) to what to do with all these big feelings.

I had never heard of Lucy and Bel before reading this one. Although the self-aggrandizing and self-helpiness word-vomit does get a tad annoying at times, I think the authors' did a good job delivering this in a tounge-in-cheek manner (audiobook only).

The message was a bit all over the place; I imagine it was written for shorter attention spans. Each chapter was enjoyable enough.

There were a few less-spoken-about topics about online life, which was intriguing. Nothing groundbreaking, but worth a read.

I followed along with the book whilst I listened and every time I heard something that was not on the page in front of me, I felt like I was in a secret special club of a select few who get to hear these additional words from Luce and Bel that the typical reader will never know about. Beautiful words spoken by voices of honey. Ngā mihi nui for sharing these thoughts and making life make a little more sense
