The Bodies We Wear by Jeyn Roberts | Book Review
October 30, 2014
I am left a bit conflicted on how I should feel.

Well, that happened to me while reading The Bodies We Wear. I am going to warn you right now that this book is really strange and some parts do feel like a bit of a trudge to get through. I spent much of the book confused, however, I ended up pretty satisfied when everything came together and I was no longer in the dark.
