challenging emotional funny informative reflective fast-paced

I really enjoyed "Bad Fat Black Girl" by Sesali Bowen. I don't rate memoirs because I don't think a person's life experience should be rated but I will talk about the things I liked and didn't like though. 

Something I didn't like was how short the book is. I also didn't like how there wasn't a section for trigger warnings, to warn about the serious content that is discussed within the book. 

I really liked how Bowen used her life experiences coupled with statics about domestic violence, sex trafficking, and sexual assaults to depict what life is like for a lot of Black femmes and Black gender non conforming folks in American currently. So much of this book resonated with me. 

I listened to the audiobook for free on Scribd

5.0

This book is so necessary and beautiful in every way. I was recommended this recently as in yesterday (or the day before that looking at the clock lol) by k4fia on TikTok, she’s probably my favourite person on booktok, and I flew through it. 

It was honesty and funny while so full of heart. 

Of course, looking at my profile, you can see I’m white and this book isn’t necessarily for me. While I enjoyed this book thoroughly I’m definitely not it’s intended audience and so I’ll be buy and donating a copy to give this book further reach to the people it is for. 

But I loved this book so much. I don’t stay up until 6 am for any book
