Summary
 In 2012, Melissa Broder went through a harrowing cycle of panic attacks and dread, so she began @SoSadToday, an anonymous Twitter feed that allowed her to express her darkest feelings, and which quickly gained a dedicated following. In So Sad Today, Broder delves deeper into existential themes, from eating disorders, drug addiction and unusual fetishes, to love, death, and the drama of waiting for the universe to text you back. Narrated by the author, this is a modern day memoir that is relatable to so many.©2016 Melissa Broder (P)2016 Hachette Audio Art & Literature Authors Love, Dating & Attraction Mental Health Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships Health

The author seems so determined to make you think her experience and perspectives are different/special and that she’s f***** up, that it just comes across as pretentious. And of the pockets of relatable circumstances, Broder fails to provide anything but a vapid and self-consumed take. There’s only so much ‘conventionally attractive white lady’ complaining I can listen to - couldn’t finish it.

A dumpster fire marketed as introspective personal essays
