personal essays

Overview

Unapologetically intimate essays on sex, death, mental illness, and other taboos by poet and writer Melissa Broder, the creator of @sosadtoday.

Praise

‘If Melissa Broder weren’t so fucking funny I would have wept through this entire book.’

Lena Dunham

So Sad Today is desperately honest — Melissa Broder lays herself bare but she does so with strength, savvy, and style. Sad and uncomfortable and its own kind of gorgeous. Reveals so much about what it is to live in this world, right now.’
