This was such a raw book. It truly delves into the tribulations of being a woman seen through the male gaze. It’s storytelling is sporadic but still hits hard. I’d love if it had some reflection at the end. I mean something to say that all of what happened had not been right. I’d highly recommend this book however.

I really loved this read and Emily's meditation on what it's like to have the privilege to make it big in an industry that sexualizes and objectifies you, and realize down the road you never truly achieved any power. You just got perks like money and status but that the real power continues to be in the hands of rich men who use that power to continue to do harm.
I also really appreciated the honestly with which she explores the internal conflict of wanting the attention of scary, powerful men, and how we're taught to find validation in that even though it's violent towards us. There's a promise of power and empowerment there if you can be a big girl and tough it out. Emily's not the "perfect victim" and it's important to share stories like that because it's true to life. You shouldn't have to be this "perfect victim" to have the harms done to you acknowledged and addressed.
