Everyone should read this book. I read it in May and I'm still sorting out my feelings about it. Roxane Gay's body is very much like my body, and at times I felt as though I was reading my own memoir, her experiences so closely mirrored mine. It was eerie and disconcerting while also being reaffirming. Reading this book was a lot like when I read Beezus and Ramona as a kid, it made me feel less alone in the world.
