Book Review: Trainwreck by Sady Doyle

I really liked this one. Even as someone who was not invested in the lives of celebrities, I'm still guilty of a lot of the things discussed in the book. It really made me reevaluate my view of the world. The format was interesting, the author discusses and current and events and social attitudes, then finish a chapter by discusses the "anatomy of a train wreck," a historical figure like Mary Wollstonecraft, and Sylvia Plath. It was overall really interesting. Some of the discussion is already a little dated, but I think that's just the nature of the topic.


That said, this was not an easy read (or listen). There were a lot of heavy topics discussed such as rape, mental illness, addiction, and suicide.
