A beautiful, heartbeaking story of Roxanne Gay's relationship with herself and her body. Gay explores her painful, often contridictory attitudes toward her body and how she is able to, or oftentimes UNable to, move through the world as a fat, Black, queer woman. I'm huge fan of Aubrey Gordon's work and she shouted out this book specifically, and it was disheartening to learn how much of Gay and Gordon's lives as fat women are the same and how the world tries to exclude them or shame them.

Even more powerful hearing Gay's perspective in her voice rather than just reading the words alone.

What a fantastic book.  The author's reflections on her own body and life are personal, yet so many of the thoughts could be what any of us think.  While I'm not a huge fan of personal essays or memoirs, this one touched me.
