This is a 3.5 rounded up to a 4 for me. Kaila Yu's personal experiences help to illustrate many of her points around the fetishization of Asian women, but that critiques weren't new to me or particularly novel. The attitude she takes as she retells various stories show a wide range. At times, she comes across as regretful of past decisions or behaviors. In other cases, she seems defiant, as if expecting a challenge. She approaches parts of her story with a more academic lens as if she is trying to intellectualize her experience and feelings. Then she'll reflect on some other aspect as if she never had a chance and it was inevitable that things would turn out that way. I didn't expect consistency, but I was left wondering what informed her attitudes as she wrote about many of the significant events of her life. I wonder how consistent her feelings about, say, her modeling days really are. I wonder if she ever feels differently about her surgeries. I would like to know what led to her different perspectives as I doubt she simply woke up once day with knowledge about feminism and fetishization. What led her to being able to look back on her life thus far with this new lens?
