There is also some level of self-reflection on the Author’s part, who questions the religiosity she grew up surrounded with in her family and the community and gives her reasons why she is not that keen to officiate things with her long-term boyfriend. The most refreshing thing is that the topics are equally relatable to a non-American and I often found myself having a lot to say after each essay. The author does not shy away from tackling issues affecting the modern day Americans ranging from the internet, to reality TV, to student debt, to drug usage and to fraternity houses in university campuses just to name a few. ![]() ![]() Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion by Jia Tolentino is a collection of 9 essays, which will make you question how society works and if it’s worth it or not to conform to some societal norms and particularly, if you are a woman. Mostly because I was making notes, highlighting excerpts, recording my reviews of the book in three parts for our YouTube Channel and partly, because I took a break from reading for Christmas. ![]() This is probably one of those books I have read for the longest time.
