I enjoyed this, I think, but not much as Roxane's other works. It didn't seem like something Roxane WANTED to write. She battles SUCH criticism, such bullying and hatred on Twitter. People who give her shit for being fat. This book seemed like something she felt so she could say, "okay THERE FINE read it. If you have questions about my body REFER TO MY BOOK I HAD TO WRITE A FUCKING BOOK ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY QUESTIONS." 
 I do not want to write a book about my body. This is bravery. 
 I am afraid to talk about Roxane Gay and her body and her work because I have read her whip-smart, astute tweets. I feel like a well-intentioned "thin" person who might say the wrong thing, not understanding what it is like to have a body that makes people hate you, think you are lazy, a body that makes it impossible to be without pain, ride airplanes, just make it through the day without stress and fear of having to sit in a chair in front of people. I can see myself saying something uncool and her ripping me apart. I do not think Roxane Gay would like me. At least I know now to never go in for a hug. 
 She doesn't like that people want to hug her but as far as I am concerned that is her own fault. People want a bit of her magic. We should stop ripping apart Roxane Gay because I swear she is like Jesus, she is the light and the way and she sees stuff and is able to communicate on another plane. She's a genius. But I wonder if she would switch being a genius to be a "normal" weight, whatever that would be for her? Like if Ursula was like, "you can go up to the land and have whatever body you want, all I ask for is... YOUR BRAIN!" What would she do? 
 I hope she would keep the brain. 
 This was an important book. Roxane I doubt you are reading but if you are, thank you very much.
