“Funny, heartbreaking, and yet bursting with hope.”
Funny, heartbreaking, and yet bursting with hope, Catbird will resonate with any woman who’s ever been bullied for being too plain, too fat, too smart, too talented, too different, or not good enough. Internalizing these judgments, we grew up learning to accept them, developing a sense of worthlessness and getting good at hating ourselves. Ostfeld illustrates how she eventually learned to love herself—as we all deserve to do.
