I loved this book. It's quite funny, but not all fun because Ms. West addresses a lot of really tough subjects. But I love reading her thoughts.

I related to a lot of what was discussed in this book. Some of it I obviously couldn’t relate to and I understand why she wrote about it, but it wasn’t what I was expecting to read about. This is also very much not intersectional( I feel like I’m using the wrong word). It’s kind of white feminism, but not if that makes sense.

Everybody needs to read this book. Right now. Especially in regards to Roe v. Wade being overturned. Lindy speaks so candidly on misogynist hate on the internet, existing in a fat body, and abortion. I laughed and laughed and laughed. I felt so seen and understood in regards to being a fat woman on the internet. In the world. READ THIS BOOK.

It was a really good book with great messages behind it and helped me better understand the patriarchy. The only reason I didn't give it  five stars is because I feel the writing style was slightly immature.
