challenging emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

This is a really complicated and difficult series of essays to read. It approaches sensitive and difficult topics head-on in a really beautiful, but tragic way. Emily's writing style is absolutely brilliant and you really understand just how she had to compartmentalize and rationalize her years (and decades) of severe trauma and embarrassment with her body and others' perception of her body. Absolutely genius. If you can read these topics safely, I highly recommend doing so.

5.0

Honestly this book was so wholesome! Emily Ratajkowski send us into a deep dive of some of her emotional/mental health struggles  throughout her modeling/acting career. It felt more like a personal biography than a series of formal essays which made it so relatable. I laughed and cried but loved every minute of it!
