ferdie's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional medium-paced

5.0

My body explores feminine bodies and how women are dis/connected to them. Emily Ratajkowski writes beautifully and I cannot recommend the audio book enough. Her voice gave an emotional tone that could be missed or weakened in a read through, especially for a subject that is often scholar-ized.

missemilyn's review

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.
