I knew Emily Ratajkowski without knowing who she was to be honest, I knew that she was a model and that was kinda of all. Though I was intrigued to read this book after I saw a few reviews and I'm so glad I did it. It was really hard to read sometimes, Emily went through such traumas. I loved how you feel her empowerment through her words. The care and love she uses when she talks about her younger self really moved, you really feel how being independent was her primary goal in life. 
But what I loved the most are the moments when she talks about her body and women, they really impacted me a lot. 
I'm glad this book exists, because even though I don't know anything about the modeling industry I can only guess that this book revels a lot of how fucked up this industry is towards women.

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.
