I came across this pocketbook with a pink-reddish cover and thought: ‘What an intruiging booktitle! I absolutely want to read this!’
It is in English and sadly not available in Dutch.
The subtitle is: ‘One Woman’s Journey to Body Positivity’. So yes, it is an memoir from a young woman who is now in her twenties. I love reading memoirs, because you can learn, learn so much from each other’s stories. This particular memoir captivated me from the first page and that says something, because I am a pretty picky reader. It probably is because it is raw and it is real.
In three sections, she describes her life from childhood till now in a very eloquent way. Her experiences, the way she was brought up and everything that she had to endure, is far from my own life, and it absolutely mesmerised me. WOW, this young lady is truly able to turn her pain into purpose!
This book is worth your while and you can find her on Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok. She has a youtube channel and a website as well. Just type in Michelle Elman and it will pop up. If you are interested, I can highly recommend listening to her TED-talk.
Enjoy reading the book and listening to this power-woman!
