challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

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.)

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.
