Really lovely memoir and essay collection. Brown is so open and self-reflective here, it helped me process some of my own self-esteem issues while also (and most importantly) providing insight into how we can build an inclusive society that honors both intersectional identities and rights to privacy.
Only kept from a 5 star for me because, as an entertainment journalist, the author makes a lot of references to TV shows and movies that I didn't really connect with. That's on me, not the book or the author.
