challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

One thing I will always appreciate about Roxane Gay is how honest she is. She doesn't try to shy away from the truth or sugarcoat things to protect your feelings. I love her and how she challenges me and how much I always learn when I read her books <3 (she's also a fellow swimmer. slay.)

C'est dur, intense, désagréable et pourtant si percutant, si essentiel. Les sujets sont incroyablement difficiles mais ce court récit à la première personne dit tellement de choses sur des maltraitances bien trop universelles.

This was an eye-opening, thought-provoking memoir that I think everyone, especially those who are not fat, should read. Roxane Gay is a master of writing.
