cassielaj's review against another edition

challenging emotional funny informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Roxane Gay’s authorial voice is powerful, honest, and unlike any other. Her perspectives on everything from Scrabble to reproductive rights are poignant, hilarious, and absolutely as necessary today as they were in 2015. Everyone should read this. And Bahni Turpin’s narration in the audiobook is spectacular.

There are essays in this book that are challenging and cover tragic content, but Gay does so in a very compassionate way with a great deal of care.
