A solid follow-up to the unique first volume. The author continues to make use of sex workers to alleviate her loneliness and lack of human contact. She also continues to struggle with depression and anxiety.
I like how she formats the book as diary entries that she writes to herself, cheering on
The possibility of actually entering a real romantic relationship lends the book energy as it enters the closing stretch.

Raw, painful, resonant exploration of life, family, relationships, and loneliness. Truly excellent. Definitely touched on many relatable issues in my own experience. Art is extremely expressive, capturing feels in the most visceral of ways.

Ah shit, this is so good.
I loved My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness and basically finished it in one go. I also loved this one, but I very deliberately read it bit by bit, spread out over several days.
What I expected was, I don't know, more escort agency experiences maybe? But that's not what
I cried a lot towards the end. I really hadn't expected this to be so relatable.

this volume is about. Instead, it struck me right in the feels with images for depression, for loneliness, with discussions of emotionally abusive parents and what it means to get away from them.I cried a lot towards the end. I really hadn't expected this to be so relatable.
