### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Sad Today felt so familiar as I was going through a depressive episode, and helped me make sense of it
*by R***L on May 7, 2016*

It's hard to understate how meaningful this book is to me. I was apparently the last person to know about the @sosadtoday Twitter account, only doing so once the book started to get press. It came out at a time when I was deeply struggling with my own depression and had no idea what to do about it. These essays are stark and raw and honest and gut-wrenching, in the best way possible. I appreciated how Broder went to those vulnerable places without sparing herself or the reader. She delves deep into her social anxiety, how her husband's illness has affected her, feeling needy, and other topics without wallowing in her despair, but simply exploring it in a way that I found eminently relatable. I also was so glad that she wasn't trying to "fix" herself, or, by extension, readers experiencing similar issues. That's not to say that she revels in depression or anxiety, but she meets it head on, without flinching. I've started carrying this book around with me when I travel as something to look to, not necessarily for guidance, but for solace. Even though more celebrities are openly talking about depression and mental health, we rarely get the chance to see such unfiltered looks at what it's actually like to think those thoughts, to embody them on a daily basis, and Broder does that. Often in memoirs there's a hallelujah moment where the narrator realizes how to heal themselves and their life changes grandly. Spoiler alert: that doesn't happen in So Sad Today, even though there are moments of peace and calm amidst the mental chaos; it is not a bleak book, in my opinion. But what it does offer is something more complex; Broder details how she deals with her brain and her thoughts and how it plays out in real-life interactions with people. It's certainly not always pretty, but life isn't, and while I have no idea if it will have the same effect on other readers, I can say that for me, it helped me immensely at a time when I had trouble articulating what was wrong with me to anyone in my life, nor would I have wanted to.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grateful for Melissa Broder’s Raw Storytelling
*by S***T on November 28, 2022*

First time reading MB and I am hooked, already craving more of her beautiful, raw prose.A relatable read. Depressing, but also deeply engrossing and unputdownable. SST allowed me to relate to a book like I have not been able to in a while. Felt like a needed venting sesh with a friend to me, where we bond over how messed up and simultaneously flawless and beautiful we are.If you are a fan of I’m Thinking of Ending Things, or anything by Otessa Moshfegh, you will love this excellent collection of personal essays.After this I am sure to delve into her fiction.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beloved Melissa -- funny, true but still a mystery
*by S***X on September 7, 2016*

I envied Melissa Broder her courage in telling us so much about herself, her thinking, her life. She's cruelly honest -- I admire that -- and she's got a way of making the saddest mistakes that we all make oh-so-funny. Witness: A love story -- that chapter had me laughing to the point of tears. I'd give this book a 5 if I finished it feeling like I knew her. But I did not feel she totally opened up about issues that I care about. For instance, her debacle with Effexor: what? She was on benzos for quite some time. So, how'd she get off them and did she even miss them once gone?Short-take: tell us more about what effects your audience and less about those rarities that don't. I learned things I didn't need to know and I felt a bit robbed that you shorted me on the events of your story that might help the rest of us.But hey, you're so damn funny and unorthodox that I love you anyway. I just wish I'd gotten to know you better so I'd know how Ron Jeremy made out, for instance.Mostly I love you for laughing at the horror of life and letting us in on the joke. Made me feel comforted -- less alone.Keep going!
