Disturbing the Body by Nici West

2.0

Urgh I really wanted to like this, because it deals with so much subject matter that I’m into, but tbh I found it very same-y. A lot of the stories were just very descriptive, and felt like eloquent people sharing their own traumas and challenges rather than stories that *needed* to be told for the story’s own sake. A lot of repeated short sentences standing in for style too. There were some good ones, and the subject matter really is interesting and important, and maybe there’s solidarity to be found for some readers, but it missed me and my specific bodily disturbances at least.
