My Body by Emily Ratajkowski

emotional reflective medium-paced

3.5

it’s taken me a while to really reflect on how i feel about this book, even though i feel as if it was filled with countless opportunities for self-reflection. emrata touches on topics in a new light such as femininity, the male gaze, body image, self esteem, misogyny, capitalism, the patriarchy, and more. looking back on her life as a model and other aspects, i’m left with astounding amounts sympathy for her, and anger towards male entitlement LOLLL. def not the most elaborate or articulate writing, but it is deeply personal. memoirs are beyond difficult to rate. i’ve only said good things yet i’m left with very mixed feelings? i feel as though she could have further delved into the effect that her privilege has and the way that she upholds our system’s patriarchal values. but other than that it was a good read, feminist slay yas girlboss era
