I give up!

The publisher’s description of this book is misleading. What you’re expecting is something a little more essayish, and instead what you get is some seriously theory-laden gobbledegook doublespeak tripe. Ms. Wurtzel is simply regurgitating old ideas and the whole thing has a very “boo-hoo” feel to it.

It’s not about difficult women at all. It’s about history’s PERCEPTION of what difficult means. Good luck finding anything substantial amidst all this fluff and fodder. As for me, I’m bored out of my skull with trying.

A quote I randomly recall which seems related:

Baby Spice (Emma Bunton) “I don’t want to be cute. I want to be a hot, sexy bitch!”

currently reading (hence the tag explosion). had to start again because i’d forgotten everything.

i haven’t given up, just taken a hiatus from reading it. it’s a lot more meaty (read: theory-heavy) than i expected.
so i’m taking time off to read fictional books for a while.
