i’m so glad that my mom gave me this book a few months ago and pointedly told me that i needed to read it. it’s taken me ages to get through because of how often it makes me cry, but chanel miller is an amazing writer and the way she conveys feelings i’ve never found words for will probably stick with me for years

“I discover a journey not identical to my life’s path, and yet blazed with the intimate familiarity of my own lived experience. I locate theory—the way it is lived— in motion and in interconnection. Not hard to understand; hard to live.“

heartwrenching from start to finish. a warm hug for someone like me.
i can’t really criticize the writing of this book, just because it’s the uniqueness and importance of this story that sets it apart. it is a story that absolutely needed to be written. what’s even more amazing is that such simple writing could capture the lived intricacies of gender and sexuality in so many shades.
i had never felt seen like this.

Michelle is in the band Japanese Breakfast & her book is as beautiful as the music she gifts to this world. It’s about many things — grief, growing into yourself, food as a love language, but ultimately all these things are lessons learnt while caring for her mum who had cancer and then losing her. A forewarning that this book made me cry multiple times, but i was truly so in awe of how thoughtfully honest Michelle was

good companion piece to her films and good on its own if you don’t know who she is. Very sad and raw the most emotions I’ve felt in months.
