Roxane Gay has a lot of opinions on lots of things. I saw a lot of negative reviews going into this book so I was kind of worried but I found that I enjoyed her perspective on things. Many of the essays combined pop culture with topics like racism or sexism. Some of the essays were a more intimate look into Gay's life, like her experiences in the Scrabble competitions. I really enjoyed the essays as a whole, some of them I didn't quite agree with but, again, these are her opinions. I plan to look into more of her works because I really liked her writing style.
