studydniowka's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced

3.5

Bardzo emocjonalny zapis zmagania się z traumą i zaburzeniami odżywiania. Bardzo osobista dla mnie książka, ale jakoś nie jestem w stanie dać jej więcej gwiazdek.

dark emotional reflective medium-paced

4.5

Some memoirs just feel like info dumps about the author but this, Roxane Gay was able to weave a thread throughout that continued to tie together the whole memoir.
