Body Talk is book of essays of different bodies. I love that it has included all different kinds of disabilities and how people have to navigate then in their life. I think this book is important and I hope everyone picks it up when it comes out!

My favorite essay was:
Fifty Swimsuits by Julie Murphy

*Thank you very much to the publisher and Netgalley for an EARC of Body Talk in exchange for an honest review* I really like this anthology because it's the first I've read that deals with body issues, specifically body issues when you are disabled. It was very refreshing to me to read about people who have gone through the same doubts about their bodies that I have had about mine. Great anthology!

This was an incredible anthology about bodies and all the things they come with. I really loved the diverse perspectives throughout this anthology and it opened my eyes to many things.

This is an amazing anthology of essays all about how we view our bodies and ourselves. I loved the variety of voices and the many topics covered including hormones, blindness, scoliosis, eating disorders. This was really an eye opening book as I learned a lot that I didn't know before. The essays were also both serious and humorous which was a great balance. There is a lot discussed in this book that is important for teenagers and for anyone to hear.. I will be recommending this to a lot of my teen patrons in the future.
