Birth control. Body hair removal cream. Boobs. It's all
weird, but also pretty normal.
Navigating racial
identity, gender roles, workplace dynamics, and beauty standards, Mia Mercado's
hilarious essay collection explores the contradictions of being a millennial
woman, which usually means being kind of a weirdo. Whether it's spending $30 on
to ask about someone's race (spoiler: just don't, please?), quitting a job that
makes you need shots of whiskey on your lunch break, or finding a more
religious experience in the skincare aisle at Target than your hometown
Catholic church, Mia brilliantly unpacks what it means to be a professional,
absurdly beautiful, horny, cute, gross human. Essays include:
- Depression
Isn't a Competition but Why Aren't I Winning?
- My
Dog Explains My Weekly Schedule
- Mustache
Lady
- White
Friend Confessional
- Treating
Objects Like Women
With sharp humor
and wit, Mia shares the awkward, uncomfortable, surprisingly ordinary parts of
life, and shows us why it's strange to feel fine and fine to feel strange.
