Lightning Review
Alexandra Petri’s US History by Alexandra Petri
Dear Bitches: It is my sad duty to inform you that I cannot review Alexandra Petri’s US History: Important American Documents (I Made Up), a collection of humorous pieces that make brutal and glorious fun of all the stuff that we learned in high school.
