A great book, such difficult subject matter but Roxane Gay does an amazing job at telling her story. I felt so connected to her and so aware the whole time I was reading. Made me very aware of my body and confronted many of the same thoughts I have about what it feels like to exist and move in this world. Also made me more aware of how others may feel. Why have we come to a point where we all have to be so obsessed with our bodies and how do we escape this?
