“Trick Mirror”\u00a0is an enlightening, unforgettable trip through the river of self-delusion that surges just beneath the surface of our lives<\/strong>. This is a book about the incentives that shape us, and about how hard it is to see ourselves clearly in a culture that revolves around the self.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jia Tolentino is a genius at linking her own experiences to the wider world in order to illuminate the dark corners of our culture. In “Trick Mirror”, she writes about women\u2019s lives with such keen insight and wry humor that you may find yourself highlighting nearly every page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It’s a beautiful book<\/h2>\n

There is so much to love about this book, but I think what you should probably appreciate most is Tolentino’s fearless honesty. She writes about her own life with such openness and vulnerability<\/strong>, yet she never comes across as self-indulgent or navel-gazing. Her observations about the world we live in are spot-on, and she has a unique way of looking at things that will make you see familiar things in a new light.<\/p>\n
