Stories about one woman's experience with her body made me feel so many things. A lot of anger for her, sympathy as I related to her.
I loved it and would v highly recommend.

Overall, I'm deeply impressed by this book. I didn't know who Emily Ratajkowski was when I got it and after reading the reviews I was worried I made a mistake. I didn't. Her mastery of prose is impressive, as is her ability to distill highly specific experiences into universal concepts that I believe most people assigned female at birth (and probably some AMAB people too) can connect with. We've all had a moment where we're compared to those around us and, even when we're not found wanting, the comparison is still painful and hard to manage. We've all had moments where we need to take our appearance and our outfits into account to make sure that we'll be taken seriously. We've all had a moment where someone important to our future says something awful and we can't call them out. Sure, there's a lot of highly specific detail that may seem trite and moments where she seems shallow; she's writing about her past as a model and she is human, after all. That doesn't take away from how far she's grown and how much of her teenage world view she's deconstructed.
Thank you to Emily Ratajkowski and Henry Holt and Co for the copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
