    I don't know why everybody rags on Lena so hard. I mean, I get it if she's not your cup of tea, but she isn't awful. She's actually decently clever and a vocal feminist. The discussion about privilege is one thing but it's basically been overshadowed by bandwagon snark. Now, don't get me wrong, I love snark but not this unrelenting, unoriginal stuff I've been encountering when it comes to her.

      We were hoping that the voice of our generation would have been less of a dork.

      That's my guess.

      Agreed, I am not a fan of her, but I do not understand why she is knocked so hard. I think a lot of people think she has more than she has "earned".

    "A young woman tells you what she's 'learned'"

    What? Why is this the secondary title? Is "learned" in quotes because she's actually learned nothing? If so, why would I want to read it? Or does her book suffer from the grammatical plague that is using quotation marks instead if emphasizing italics?

    So many questions for something I don't give any shits about.

      Yeah I get that but I'm already annoyed in general at this trend of people writing memoirs when they haven't done shit that I don't find it funny. Especially when you think of how many great writers are languishing in dead-end jobs because they can't even get a publisher to check out their manuscript.

    To promote her book, she's made these little videos where she offers advice to people who sent her questions. I think they're cute and she has some good things to say.

      Old cheesy romance novel. Not even one of the new ones. And I don't care what anyone says, I always have and always will judge a book by its cover. I've been introduced to some of my favorite writers that way.

      That might not necessarily be the choice of the author. Several women authors have come out against the overly feminized cover art that publishers insist on.

        The placement of this post next to the "Miss America is a mean girl" post says it all.

          Here's the deal. In pretty much every KMart, grocery store, etc. that has a book section there's a box with blue stripes on it in Receiving that might have a sticker "do not display until xx/xx/2014." The Readerlink Merchandiser doesn't want to waste time coming back again just to shelve one book so they put it up anyway.
