Adult Braces : Driving Myself Sane

Lindy West's latest book is a candid and humorous account of her journey towards self-discovery and transformation. After the success of her previous book and the TV series adaptation, West found herself struggling with her own mental health and sense of identity. In a bold move, she embarked on a solo cross-country road trip to re-evaluate her life and find her way back to herself. Along the way, West shares her experiences of hitting rock bottom, her shifting feelings about traditional marriage, and her search for her long-lost self. With her trademark candor and sense of humor, she recounts the highs and lows of her journey, from natural wonders to kitschy roadside attractions. The result is a narrative that is both engaging and laugh-out-loud funny, as West transforms from a passenger to the active navigator of her own life. Through this book, West offers a unique perspective on identity, mental health, and the complexities of modern life. With its relatable tone and honest storytelling, Adult Braces is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a fresh and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be alive.
