izzywolf's review against another edition
5.0
this memoir was truly amazing and I really didn't expect to like it as much as I did. I had to read it for a philosophy requirement but now I feel it has more personal meaning than that. Melissa Febos is deeply personal in her writing yet it feels universal. This book speaks so much to what it is like to grow up as a girl and be in a culture that is, in a lot of ways, against you. She also speaks beautifully about finding yourself and learning how to grow.

Different kind of book. Sometimes tough to follow but found it to be very thought-provoking!

Nothing I can add for the value of this book except say: It is worth the plunge.

wow — this was incredible. gut wrenching and grueling yet immensely tender and eye opening. like looking in a mirror i’ve been avoiding my life. extremely well researched and written, 10/10 recommend for a robust reflection on womanhood. only complaint is that i wish i had read sooner, perhaps would have made things a little easier. thank you melissa
