Melissa Broder

before i started this i had no clue what this book was about and i did not know who the author was.. Melissa Broder wrote Milkfed?! and Death Valley?! and The Pisces?! what??! i truly thought this was a newly released book.. it was published in 2016. there are things in this book that i have never thought about. she was saying things i would be embarrassed to say out loud and she shared them to the whole world! the things Melissa Broder shares in these essays.. it's a memoir like no other memoir i’ve read in my life. ALL OF THIS IN A GOOD WAY! these essays are soooooo personal. they are raw and bold and brave. i read a review that said, "I never knew one person had so much to say about themselves." they're not wrong as here's almost everything Melissa Broder talks about: chakras, tantra sex, evening sex on the Golden Gate Bridge, her eating disorders, mental disorders, communication, massage, rebirthing experiences, sacred dance, anti-age choices, body image, bravery, work, workshops, getting paid for sex, New York and San Francisco comparisons, 3 hour vaginal massages, men, women, sexuality of every kind, feminism, marriage, wine, weed, coke, food, money, self-worth, anxiety, addiction, recovery, depression, love, infatuation, therapy. turn ons, turn offs, porn, escapes, feeling about everything under the sun, vomiting, Wellbutrin, death, relationships of all kinds. this was a great book and i'm glad i read it… (altro)
