From former New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles, a look at how some of the most educated people in America lost their minds – and how she almost did, too.

What The Reviewers Say

Laura Kipnis,
The New York Times Book Review
A slim collection of polemical reportage that I suspect is meant to be courageous stuff, also funny.
Becca Rothfeld,
The Washington Post
Attempts at scene-setting — a feeble homage to Didion’s magnificently visceral vignettes — fall flat.
Barton Swaim,
The Wall Street Journal
An astute, funny and splendidly written story of disillusionment.
Rachel Cooke,
The Observer (UK)
A wickedly enjoyable book.
