Praise
“Perfect for when that one word just falls flat.”
—Justine Magazine
“Hilarious and therapeutic.”
—The New York Observer
“For emotionally ‘idiovated’ readers, this is a wry reminder that they aren’t the only ones who feel that way.”
—Publishers Weekly
“For all those whose frustration at being unable to name a particular emotion has ever overtaken the emotion they are unable to name, this clever lexicon is here to provide relief. Situated somewhere between Urban Dictionary and a beginner’s guide to anxiety and introversion, the book highlights the importance of emotional literacy but stops short of addressing emotional competence, relying instead on the audience’s developed sense of irony to understand the validity of the newly named feelings while also managing to recognize any unhealthy emotional practices.”
—Kirkus Reviews
