My Body by Emily Ratajkowski
5.0

Such an amazing insight. I had a lot of preconceptions about Emily Ratajkowski which I’m now recognising as internalised misogyny because every single one of them were wrong.

I found her relationship with her mother especially interesting and I think very significant for a lot of millennial women raised by mothers who were victims of horrific 90s beauty standards.

I listened to the audiobook, as I tend to do with books like this as hearing the author speak it makes it especially powerful. I found her to be such a compelling narrator and I was completely heartbroken her when she seemed to start crying at the end of one of the essays.
