How to be a Person

This book was pretty good. It was extremely sarcastic and funny, which I enjoyed. It called out republicans and people who aren't feminists for being assholes, which I enjoyed. In fact the chapter on feminism was probably my favorite part of the whole book. 

It was a little harsh at times. The advice was funny, but it was sometimes kind of hurtful. Like you don't need to insult people?? Please don't do that?? I wasn't personally offended but it was a little like a slap to the face in some parts. 

It was funny though. And helpful. I skipped around. 

I like how progressive and edgy it was. Most other college prep books wouldn't talk about half of the things that this one talked about. Read The Naked Roommate for actual college related worries and read this book for more info about sex and booze and drugs and how to make homemade tacos. 

But yeah! I liked it! :)
