Insightful personal essays that just felt a little too essay-ish, you know? I felt some of them to be a bit repetitive, like there was almost enough for a book but not quite. 

Faves were (I did the audiobook so apologies because the titles of the essays elude me!) the one that discussed our de-sensitivity to violence against women in the media we consume, and the one where Nolan dissects the ‘mammy’ stereotype. I appreciated the intersectionality of Nolan’s thoughts as a fat, mixed Black & Mexican woman, and the ways her identity has affected her life and the way she lives it. Just missing something that ties it together as a cohesive collection.
