A review by courtneyfalling
Body Work by Melissa Febos

informative reflective fast-paced

3.0

I expected to rate this memoir a lot higher, but it didn't go nearly deep enough nor specific enough into what I expected. There was no mention of writing about illness or disability, for example, which is a huge component of any bodily writing, whether or not 'explicitly' about disability. And I'm perpetually interested in how to (and whether to) ethically write about other people, and this was just so surface level on it compared to what I really thought this could've done.
