Ooooooof. A lot of reflection on womanhood and how we navigate it, grieve it, live with it. A lot of this was hard for my romance-addled brain to handle. I live for easy and comfortable. But like how many times have I allowed men to touch me nonconsensually??? How many unwanted hugs do I receive a year??? How much emotional labor and space am I giving men to protect their own egos??? A LOT!!!!! Aka this book was the Barbie movie but with more nuance and intersectionality. I would love to revisit it when I’m 30 and see what I think then
