Author Sophia Benoit is best known as a columnist and Twitter sensation, but the new essay collection Well, This is Exhausting is a delightful look at the pitfalls of modern womanhood. Benoit spent the early years of her life being focused on being a “good girl” and trying everything in her power to keep up with the ever changing goals of the life of being a young woman. Her essays discuss some difficult topics like anxiety and the disappointing world of dating, usually in laugh-out-loud funny ways. Her writing combines things like pop culture obsession, feminism, understanding others despite societal expectations and what exactly it mean to be a woman in the United States. Benoit’s writing is FULL of foot notes, that are often even funnier than the original sentence. For the millennial crowd, you’ll feel a serious sense of kinship.
Well, This is Exhausting is available July 13, 2021 from Gallery Books.
