The Pretty One: On Life, Pop Culture, Disability, and Other Reasons to Fall in Love With Me by Keah Brown

3.0

I struggled a bit with this book. It was very honest in ways that sometimes made me uncomfortable. That's not a problem with the book, and I think it's good for me to sit with that discomfort and examine it. But it was not an easy read.

I also found parts of it very repetitive. The essays often echoed each other, and there were a lot of lists, and plot summaries (or more than summaries) of her favorite books and movies. If you read it as text instead of audio, you could probably just skim the lists and repetitions, though. Overall, I'm glad I read it.
