Tacky: Love Letters to the Worst Culture We Have to Offer

Perfectly nostalgic essays for elder millennials

This book of essays may seem like cultural critique, and it is, but it's also a poignant memoir. Rax King ruminates on her life from a preteen sporting frosted lip gloss to an adult living in a world where there are at least six versions of the show The Bachelor. This book is funny and raw and full of cultural touchstones that will put a reader of a certain age right back in their family’s wallpapered computer room, listening to Black Eyed Peas and crafting the perfect AIM away message.
