Why Is Everyone Hating on Lindy West’s "Adult Braces"?
In this installment of Memoir Nation's All Things Memoir, Brooke takes on the four primary reasons people are hating on Lindy West's new memoir, Adult Braces, none of which really have to do with the book itself. There's the polyamory, the belief that she's trying to convince herself she wants to be in this throuple, perceptions that she's in an abusive relationship. And much more. Brooke also talks about the memoir and its actual merits, and explains how and why we're here, and why Lindy West finds herself again at the center of so much online hate.
