Read for Popsugar 2020 prompt Book By or About a Woman in STEM (Williams is a health researcher)
I initially picked this up purely out of Erin Williams solidarity (I'm no longer a Williams, but old habits die hard I guess) and wow, I'm so glad I did.
The art is a little amateurish, the lettering mirrors my own crazed scrawling, but the writing is unbelievably powerful. A must-read, though be warned there are definitely some massive sexual assault and addiction triggers, if that's something you are worried about.

Thank you to NetGalley for a free review copy of this book.
This book was very interesting. It took me a little while to settle into it and to find the rhythm but once I did, I really enjoyed it. I felt like the beginning of the book was where I struggled to connect with the author the most. I felt like the morning routine section was just to long and detailed. I understood where she was going with it but it was so long that I can see a lot of readers losing interest quickly. Once I got through the beginning part of the book and onto the actual commute part I felt like the book really found it's stride. I feel like this is one of those books that you will either love or be bored by. Overall I feel like this is a great book to read (especially if you are a man) to get a different perspective on what it's like to be a woman just existing in this day and age.

This amazing woman , who didn’t value herself and the trauma at 15 didn’t help. I was sad for her, but I loved her reflection of it all, how she owned it,all. Even the bad shit, she owned it all with no shame in the end.
