Melissa Broder has always struggled with anxiety, but in 2012, the panic attacks became relentless. To cope, she created @sosadtoday, an anonymous Twitter account where she laid bare her darkest thoughts—raw, existential, and darkly hilarious. What began as an outlet quickly grew into a viral sensation.
In So Sad Today, Broder dives even deeper, exploring the messy, uncomfortable realities of sex, death, addiction, love, and the absurdity of modern life. With a voice that is equal parts poetic and profane, devastating and laugh-out-loud funny, she confronts the questions most of us are too afraid to ask.
Brutally honest and deeply relatable, this essay collection is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by life and needed to laugh about it anyway.
