i so much needed some angry girl stuff!! this is all about an assault victim who finds herself so caught up in anger at men and the system. the way she talks about the consuming power of rage and feeling so helpless to these issues that women face…. i hear thisssss

PAUSE!! haruki murakami mention??? when worlds collide af

goddamn i love a book that lays it out like this!! yes it is companies profiting off of our submission and the violence against us. yes it does go back to sex and rape culture

woah. this book hurts my brain i have really had to slow it down. the connections are connecting thooooo okayyyy

the adrenalin rush i got from finding that out made me want to scream

the disclaimer about jenna’s husband that the editor gave in the beginning is making this part so truly complicated. a hopeless undertone sinks into the hopeful parts :(

basically this is so incredibly hard to stomach like the depictions of sexual abuse by her father and his friend is like making me want to throw up!! not the book to start without a different book as a back up to go to when this gets too rough. just so vivid that i genuinely can’t deal with it

ready for this book to get good in the slightest at all

this shit don’t have page numbers but damn i love a funny satirical book

this the type of thing to not be able to read in one sitting, yet it can consume your mind all day. with the different authors i’m really digesting between essays

oh i might need a lil memoir kick for a sec… this the type of shit i’m deadass thinking about at the bar on a saturday night. insane. this mf just survived sm and i so fuck with her for her ability to speak about this experience. does it make me want to examine my own family dynamics??? um… i uh… ya…

damnnnnn.. okay I love memoirs and this one is fuggin good. listening to it read by the author is so powerful too, I can hear her voice shake with emotion and it is making it so much better. this shit real as the hell

mark my words this year i’m gonna be way more of a cunt when it comes to reviewing books, i’m not enjoying this

“why am i following the same body standard trump has for women?”

it’s giving This Thing Between Us

“anger is a kind of fear. and fear saved you.”

“anger is a kind of fear. and fear saves you.”

i might need to read more books involving people’s experiences with eating disorders…. “having been obsessed with maintaining control i’d now lost it” excuse me i literally stopped in my tracks to pause this audiobook and replay this line in my head. never heard an eating disorder described so poetic yet real. the lump in my throat huge rn
