Revenge Body

This is a great collection of poems about mental health, body positivity, being female, and being Black/biracial. I could really relate to a lot of the poems about being fat and struggling with mental health. While I did enjoy the poems there were some that I couldn't get into. Some of them just didn't pack the punch that the other ones did.

Thank you to NetGalley and Button Poetry for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I appreciated the writing style and the topics within the poem collection, especially the ones about body image issues, mental health struggles, and white feminism. I especially enjoyed how she called out white feminists for not being inclusive enough and stated that intersectional feminism is the real kind of feminism, which I can get behind. As someone who is a queer woman of color, I can relate to most of her poems, with the exception of those discussing her experiences as a Black woman. I am an Asian woman and I love the title of the poem collection and how Revenge Body didn't just talk about getting a revenge body and was more holistic.
