On the one hand, this is an amazgly hont acunt of Roxane Gay's life wh an unly body, as she lls , which veloped after she was gang raped at 12.
This is Gay's memoir om the time she was gang raped at twelve-years-old, to her later need to e food to build a fortrs around herself, to her more recent life as a woman tegorized as the horrendo phrase "super morbidly obe".
) I wonr if Roxane Gay was ed ready to wre this book -- she am as a difficult experience to wre and fish and publish and there is equivotn on every page, sometim every sentence, and nothg like the stronger, more direct prose and voice of her says/op-eds on femism and society.

For example, I wish wrers like Gay, who surely knows what real hate is, wouldn't e the word "hate" so much for banal occurrenc everyday life that we simply don't like or don't prefer: food, habs, celebri, mor nvenienc, awkward moments.
598 reviews1, 165 followersAugt 8, 2021I nnot jump on the bandwagon of this beg a wonrful and empowerg folks but as Ms Gay ntu to blame the world for her unhapps there is jt no chance for peace.
Roxane Gay seems to know exactly how to e repn and exactly how to nvey what is to be her place - emotns we’ve all felt, but maybe haven’t put to words. Gay’s narratn perfectly nveys every emotn, perfectly nveys jt how horrifyg and hard to talk about her experienc are whout melodrama or tears. I’m a ltle horrified by several reviews seemg to imply - or outright state - that Roxane Gay is makg her problems worse by wallowg or by “refg” to open herself to others - or even worse, that she is “choosg” not to heal.
