The Body Papers: A Memoir by Grace Talusan

emotional informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.0

For the people who are scoring this low, you’re probably not who this book is intended for. This memoir was very validating for not only me but many other people in the Filipino diaspora community. Yes, it was a hard read when it came to the abuse but that is the reality of it. Life doesn’t have a happy ending most of the time and you have to play with the cards you’re dealt with. It’s REAL, it’s RAW. If you wanted a lighthearted book it isn’t this. Nonetheless, it’s an essential read for those who need it. She wrote this and it really resonated with similar thoughts going through my head.
