Roxane Gay poured her heart onto the page with this one and dared readers to look away from her pain.

This book isn't for the faint of heart since Gay basically is outlining her tumultuous history of being gang-raped at twelve, the subsequent cycle of violence done to her by others and herself, and having in-depth conversations about her sex life and eating habits.

In short, if you're easily made squeamish and/or not one for dealing with messy real-life events that come about when one takes the time to live and go "through" things and/or if you are triggered easily by sexual violence, violence in general, food disorders...cough cough...life in general Stay. Away. From. This. Book!

No seriously! Stay as far as you can get from any discussion of this book because things get really real quick. #IWasNotReady
