Stunning. You can clearly see the connection between this and one of her future collections of essays, Not That Bad, which I also enjoyed. This memoir has a lot of complexities to it and goes far beyond a memoir of an eating disorder. Gay contemplates trauma, race, sexuality, and disability, as well as inequities in healthcare. It was so impressive how she covered so much, briefly but still with a great deal of depth. It never felt like she was trying to shoe-horn in a topic just to check a box; rather, everything that was set felt wholly essential to her story. Wholeheartedly recommend.
