4.5

A book that starts out slow and depressing, until it suddenly builds to rich, incredibly articulate writing. Febos mines the depths of despair for rich insights into femininity and life as a whole. If you’re brave enough to stick through the darkness, it’s well worth it. Her essays detail everything from her relationship to her mother to her childhood, to the development of her writing career and an exploration of her relationship to her self worth. Febos redefines not only what it means to be “slut,” but what it means to be a woman, and a free one at that
