So Sad Today

Résumé : In this darkly funny and brutally honest collection of essays, Melissa Broder grapples with sex, death, love, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addiction, and the drama of waiting for the universe to text you back. She illuminates, with insights as shap as her humor and in prose that is both aggressively colloquial and achingly poetic, questions most of us are afraid to even acknowledge, let alone answer. Like, when did I even ask to be born ? and why is there a committee in my head trying to kill me ? From Botox to the abyss, Broder precariously balances her own hilarious obsessions with a strong dose of existentialist dread, diving deeper into the psyche that made her a phenomenon as the dangerously irreverent @sosadtoday.
