4.5
I've been wanting to read this for a while, and I couldn't be happier that this fit in with a reading challenge I'm doing.
Reading about Nagata's 20s made me feel so seen; I would never wish the feelings she felt about her body, sexuality, or personality upon anyone, but knowing that I'm not the only one dealing with them is very comforting. I think she's way more honest about her personal experiences than I could be and, even though they're really depressing to read about most of the time, she makes sure to add some humor to it all to make it a twinge more lighthearted.
I truly wish I had read this sooner.
