Powerful, moving, and a testament to what it means to be a woman in our modern age. Emrata is an artist, through and through.

An interesting insight into the world of modeling and into how society views women’s bodies as a purely commodifiable asset, without regard for our brains, intellect etc. 
as this was a series of essays I thought there would be less about Emily herself and more about societies views on women’s bodies as a whole. It felt more like an autobiography rather than essays. I also wish that there had been more in the book about how modelling isn’t something for young women to aspire to. There was little regard for the demographic that would read this book and therefore came across as a bit lacking in self awareness and dare I say empathy for the reader themselves.

oh damn pooor youuu being paid $25k to watch a football game…smh

But otherwise fascinating insight into the entertainment industry’s role in the use of women’s bodies as a means of production, something we don’t get to own or reclaim 9 times out of 10.

I feel sad about what the author’s gone through and appreciate her honesty with her struggle with her body and being in her own skin. It wasn’t written AMAZINGLY, but it’s her story.

very thoughtful and interesting commentary on complicated topics. while the memoir’s contents may look like a contradiction given the nature of the author’s career, it serves as a reminder that two things can be true at once

it was scarily relatable to thoughts most, if not all, women have likely had even though, for most of us, it is rare to live a life adjacent to a wildly famous model like Emrata
