I hate to spew hateful language out on the internet, but I can’t bring myself to take the high road here so I’ll just say it: I’m pretty sure that the people who are giving this memoir 1-star are trash-folk who still think Roxane Gay owes them an apology and are, for some bewildering reason, personally offended by her, and have missed the entire point of this book.

These trash people are out there, reading about a woman who developed self-destructive coping mechanisms in reaction to a horrendous traumatic event that shouldn’t happen to anyone, and see only her physical body, which they consider a personal affront, none of her actual trauma.
Shame on you.

This was one of the most vulnerable memoirs I have ever read. It is full of contradictions, but they make perfect sense to me, at least. They are the same contradictions I think most people with human bodies, especially women, feel about their body and their worth.
