5.0
My first book by Roxane Gay, but definitely not my last! Her writing style is so gripping, and her timing is always just right. Her experiences with her body, though unique to her, have so many universal themes for anyone existing in a body in our society. The content is dark and introspective but still entertaining. Learning from her and finding the words for some phenomena that I have struggled with was a pleasure.
