I loved the “too queer” chapter on Caitlyn Jenner. Petersen‘s discussion about “passing” as a trans person gave my language for my own complicated feelings on gender, sex and femininity.

@TheBookHippie it was a double Litsy mail day for me 🥰🥰 I laughed right out loud when I opened this gem ❤️❤️❤️ you are a stellar book chooser and an amazing facilitator of Sunday Buddy Read, my Sundays are wonderful no matter the book thx to all your planning, prompting and when necessary, book throwing. This was an unexpected and thoughtful touch. I‘m so so glad I found #sundaybuddyread 🥰🥰
Got 1/3 of the way through on my 2nd attempt. I'm just not following her arguments. Probably my fault.
4.5⭐
This is a book that explores the implicit societal rules imposed on girls, presenting a realistic yet hopeful narrative. It stands out for its excellent writing, compelling characters, and powerful message. The narration by Julia Whelan was perfect.
Finished this book recently! Roxane Gay is one of my fave writers, and these essays showcase her eloquent, impactful writing. The essays touched on a ray of pivotal topics, and I love how Gay isn‘t afraid to state and explain her perspective even if it goes against the typical or majority view. I liked that there were some more lighthearted essays as compared to her previous works. Some essays were repetitive but overall it‘s an intriguing read.
Thank you @TheBookHippie for my certificate of completion 😂 it was a challenge for sure! I am also so honored to receive this very appropriate bookmark!! ❤️ I hope our next few books are way better than this but I do look forward to enduring another challenging read together!!
My collection of this one ❤️📚🤍 I still haven‘t read The Testaments… really need to get to that one!

Someone had thought to spoof classic art, and it's pretty funny! This is one of my favorites, and it also shows a weird publishing error where there are faint printings of another page at the top...
Some chapters hit closer to home than others and I think that will vary between each reader depending on past experiences in your life.
