Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture by Roxane Gay

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Oh. My. Gosh. I loved it. This was a while rollercoaster - and it really showed me I wasn't alone. People deal with their trauma in all sorts of different ways (they laugh, they cry, they drink, etc.), and this book was so powerful in that it gave an example of everything. Not everyone was raped, but some of us were groped. Not everyone was groped, but some of us had our asses slapped in high school. It really goes to show just how many people have similar experience to you, just how many people you could share your story with. I would 100% recommend this. It is definitely one of my new favorites <3
