An Indoor Kind of Girl

Více o knize

Someone at a party describes you as an "indoor girl." What does that even mean? You don’t know, but you spend the rest of the week obsessing over it. You binge-watch three seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians in two days. You buy a pet turtle. You absentmindedly paint what ends up looking like your high school football coach, but naked. You go on a trip to Australia for a few months. You try to speak with a New York accent in public, just to see if people will like you better that way. But the comment still haunts you. An "indoor girl." You feel like it’s you, even if it’s not. In these funny stories that make you laugh or cry, Frankie Barnet gives voice to girls who are often confused, rejected, aimless, disillusioned, or misunderstood, watching their lives pass by like watching someone fall on the sidewalk across the street. With her quirky and deadpan writing, Barnet confronts us with the anxieties and hopes of young women today.
