4.0

An extremely raw and honest memoir with meditations on alcohol addition, rape, bad sex, and the low level sexual harassments the author faces daily as a woman who commutes in New York. Williams has a powerful voice, weaving together memories and quotes from books with observations and admissions. I heard the author speak last year and was very impressed, but procrastinated on reading the book because of the heavy subjects. But it was a faster and less painful read than I feared- the humor and self-insight kept me turning the pages. I read it all in one sitting.
