Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture by Roxane Gay

challenging emotional sad medium-paced

4.5

This book is a difficult read, which is to be expected from its description. Having different narrators was a good choice and there were many different styles of stories, which I appreciated. I wish some stories would have been in a different order, but the stories themselves were powerful. Sadly, I think most women could identify with parts of these stories, often with how we are raised as women and told how to think about sex. This book would be a good read (or listen) for anyone who knows a victim of sexual violence because it offers so many perspectives and stories. It also contains many graphic stories so it should be read with caution, as the reader should always care for their mental health first. 4.5⭐️, ⚠️
