I enjoy memoirs and admire anyone who has the bravery to open up about their most vunerable moments and Roxane Gay definitely did this here. However, this just fell short for me... nothing about the writing really stood out and stuck with me and while I do think she brings awareness to some important topics, i personally don't feel like she opened me to a new perspective. I sound harsh and I don't mean to say this book isn't worth a read, but head the content warnings and maybe adjust your expectations.
