This was so delightful - I enjoyed thoroughly. Excellent audiobook narrator as well.

This was really cute but I'm going to hold off on reviewing it until I get my hands on a physical copy because the ebook I took out from the library was maybe the most horrendously translated book I've ever read? And I don't think that's how this was meant to be read lol so I will be re-reading eventually. 

This was enjoyable. I had a few giggles. Nice and short. 

what……. the fuck did i just read

I re-read this last night in an attempt to distract myself from the mystery illness I've been sustaining and it was just so good. This remains one of my favourite books of all time. Re-reading this gave me such a visceral reaction I can't even begin to explain. So excellent, I love so much. What I took away from this re-read was that Miranda's mom is an icon legend and I hope to be half the woman she is. 

I really liked this. I really like this as a first foray into this genre - critical theory is so boring on its own, but paired with the life of Maggie Nelson and her family, it was so captivating. Her writing is gorgeous, and she ties things together in such a seamless manner. I will say it definitely turned me off a bit from giving birth, but I thought the honesty with which she talked about the whole experience was refreshing in its rawness. It was so singular and spectacular. 

I'm very excited to read more from her, and to re-read this guy to get a fuller understanding of it. It's definitely a book that you could read many times over and dedicate a lot of time and reflection to. Reading this almost makes me want to write essays again.
