Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture by Roxane Gay

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad

5.0

How does one rate a book like this? I don't know. But I feel like in many ways I found myself and my lived reality understood and discussed. There were essays that made me cringe and need to sit with it for a bit. There were parts I found myself judging and felt the need to self examine my feelings.

I think this book will sit with me for awhile and I deeply appreciate it and all the authors boldness in telling and discussing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has any interest in learning about rape culture and the reality of how it affects people.
