My Body by Emily Ratajkowski

challenging dark emotional funny inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

I adored this book. Its raw, real, and insightful. It feels less like a memoir or a biography and more like a well researched social commentary with real world examples. Emily Ratajkowski is primarily famous from her appearance in the Blurred Lines music video but, she started her career long before and continues it long after. In addition to writing about her industry experiences, good and bad, Emily describes the publics reactions and people close to her. Her description of multiple experiences of men in the industry taking advantage of their positions and her desperation/naivety is both profound and unfortunately relatable. As a women who is nothing like Emily Ratajkowski, she wrote of things most women experience one way or another and accurately targeted how we feel and how hopeless it is. Although it was unfortunately relatable, it was well written, engaging, and genuinely interesting. I now adore her and will fist fight someone in a Walmart parking lot for her.
