boozybookworm This was a deftly-written memoir about one woman‘s struggle to accept herself and her body, as she ventures through uncharted territory in each of these life phases. I highly recommend this memoir to any person who wants to better understand the impact that our bodies can potentially play in the public and private spheres. I am so happy that I was able to read this book, and I am happy to give it 5 full stars. 2mo
