BIOGRAPHY OF A BODY by Lizz Schumer is a lyrical meander through what it means to be a messy, flawed, imperfect human. In personal essays and snippets of verse, it probes the influence of religion on a person's psyche, how the legacy of traditional femininity work their way under the skin, and the many pitfalls of living in a female body.

The first like 150 pages of this book are amazing. There were so many notable ideas and quotes that resonated with me. The way she talks about the soul and body in chapter 5 was absolutely beautiful and was by far my favorite.
However, the last 70ish pages dragged on so much all I wanted was the book to be over.
