Episode Nineteen: We're Probably Too Cynical For This Book

This week we read Lane Moore's book, How To Be Alone If You Want To, And Even If You Don't and realized that while we may agreed with some of the concepts,  we might just be too cynical for this book.

Moral to the Story: Be the person you want to be/see, but with boundaries because people can still be dicks.
