PositiveLos Angeles Review of BooksWhile Etter’s two narratives may twist together before pulling apart, it must be said that their target audiences might not necessarily overlap. Ripe will appeal to readers of Wiener’s memoir if they had preferred it to be laced with the disillusioned ennui of Raven Lelani’s Luster ... Without the lush lyricism and surrealism that made The Book of X such a deservedly timeless cult classic, Ripe is a straightforward parable of a working woman in the soul-sucking environs of Big Tech.
