I hate writing reviews for books I read so long and adored because I really can't do this book justice. My memories of it aren't fresh enough or specific enough to write any decent thoughts. It deserves so much more than I can give. But this book was absolutely fantastic. Gay's writing style is gorgeous and I was spellbound for the whole thing. I highly, highly recommend picking this up.

It took me longer to pick up this book because I worried it would be triggering (since a lot of the book is specifically focused on her body) and it really was, but incredibly worth it anyway.

I will be picking up more from Roxanne Gay for sure.
