Description
An intimate and unflinching memoir exploring Mia Kang’s journey from self-loathing to self-love
Mia Kang is many things: a sought-after model, an immigrant, an eating disorder survivor, and a Muay Thai fighter. Her first book, Knockout, is the story of how she eschewed normative body standards and learned to use martial arts to redefine her sense of self-worth. In a charming, fierce, and intimate voice, Kang invites readers into her world. She once lived and died by her weight, but she is now defined by her confidence in being a woman who lives outside the mold of what we’re taught is “feminine.” After dealing with bullying, addiction, body dysmorphia, anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts, Mia acknowledges that she is lucky to still be alive to tell readers what she’s learned: to not let anyone else dictate who you are supposed to be.
I volunteered to read this book, through netgalley in exchange, for an honest review. This book is well written. TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ ALCOHOL ABUSE. This book talks about Mia Kang before she became a model. The pacing of this book is good. I hope she writes more books because they keep your attention from the first page. This book is in stores now for $26.00 (USD). I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It is a good memoir. You guys should read this book.
