Choose Your Own Disaster
Choose Your Own Disaster | Dana Schwartz
4 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
A hilarious, quirky, and unflinchingly honest memoir about one young woman's terrible and life-changing decisions while hoping (and sometimes failing) to find herself, in the style of Never Have I Ever and Adulting. Join Dana Schwartz on a journey revisiting all of the terrible decisions she made in her early twenties through the internet's favorite method of self-knowledge: the quiz. Part-memoir, part-VERY long personality test, CHOOSE YOUR OWN DISASTER is a manifesto about the millennial experience and modern feminism and how the easy advice of "you can be anything you want!" is actually pretty fucking difficult when there are so many possible versions of yourself it seems like you could be. Dana has no idea who she is, but at least she knows she's a Carrie, a Ravenclaw, a Raphael, a Belle, a former emo kid, a Twitter addict, and a millennial just trying her best.

When the author of the book you want to read advises you to borrow mom‘s car while she‘s napping and go to the library, you do it. 😹

I‘m still here! I moved! There is a lot of light due to the lack of curtains in the living room area, books are looking fine as heck though. It went smooth and I just got WiFi today, so I‘m playing catch up!

So the whole gimmick of this memoir is that it‘s in a choose your own adventure/personality quiz format, which was super fun but ultimately made me feel like I might have missed a few things even when I went back and hit the rest of the options. The second person POV worked really well throughout though - it made the more serious moments hit harder amongst the humorous tone.

Yowza! Pow! (Useless as her powers are for fighting crime, they‘d probably still let Everything-Goes-A-Little-Bit-Easier-For-Her Girl join the Avengers. I mean, they let bow-and-arrow guy join the Avengers.)
