Why People Have Strong Reactions to Lindy West's Memoir

You might remember feminist writer Lindy West from her days on X (ne Twitter) yelling at sexist, anti-fat trolls. Or from her book Shrill. Now, West is back with Adult Braces, a memoir detailing her journey, a literal road trip, to accepting her husband's request to open up their marriage. Except it wasn't really a request, as West tells it. And this time, people across social media had very strong opinions about it.
