So intense. So beautiful. Gay does not leave room for speculation in this deeply personal, raw memoir in which she tells the story of her body- her own relationship to it, how people perceive it, why and how and for whom it exists . A relatively short memoir told in an essay-like style, but mostly chronologically ordered, Gay’s story left me breathless. She never disappoints and this is a new favorite
of mine. Tw eating disorders, rape, homophobia, self harm, domestic abuse- if you are able to, I highly recommend this as an audiobook.
