Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain by Portia de Rossi
5.0
“There's a fine line between being private and being ashamed.” 🌒
Getting through this book was difficult and very emotional, I can only imagine Portia’s own journey with her eating disorder, recovery, and ability to share this in a book. Her pain and shame really stand out and make it that more powerful to see her find happiness in love and herself. The book truly reflects how tortured she was while making appearance a priority over health and happiness. It was quite beautiful hearing her acknowledge her own happiness and good health after hitting rock bottom. A vulnerable read, recommend giving it a listen.
