An intense look into the responsibility of protest. Why do we do it and for whom?

We dive in deep to Angela's story. The other players of the story are very much formed and altered by her perspective, which makes her all the more realistic and gray of a main character. Still, this book comes to a quick close, and it felt very rushed, like the end of her story was thrown away. I wanted more concrete images and exchanges to end our time with her.

This is will keep you turning the pages, with anticipation but also with judgement. The power in this book is that it reveals really ugly patterns of thought that we've been trained into and how it harms our relationships with other women. I look forward to seeing what this author does next.

Our narrator, Angela, is everything unlikeable in the way any chaotic twenty something would be. So much of her life story is chaos of her own making and she only shows us things partially because she's the one telling us. At times she is incredibly frustrating, but most of the time I just wanted to hug her. Who better to lead us through the chaos of the fight for autonomy than a woman who can barely keep herself together? Angela was a mess and so is the fight for bodily autonomy. This was messy, gross, and beautiful.
