You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine by Alexandra Kleeman

4.0

there's nothing i would change about this book but despite that and despite how on paper it sounds like EXACTLY my type of book, something about it kept it from shining enough to be a 5 star. it is amazing in like every way though, if you're looking for a weird almost dreamy story about living in late stage capitalism, sort of specifically as a person affected by misogyny but not Explicitly just that. digs a lot into consumption as identity, how we're sold things, the capitalist interpretations of selfcare and finding yourself, and just generally how everything is coopted for corporate interest even your self
