In the vein of Prozac Nation and Girl, Interrupted, an electrifying memoir about a young woman's promiscuous and self-destructive spiral after being cast out of her ultra-Orthodox Jewish family Leah Vincent was born into the Yeshivish community, a fundamentalist sect of ultra-Orthodox Judaism. As the daughter of an influential rabbi, Leah and her ten siblings were raised to worship two things: God and the men who ruled their world. But the tradition-bound future Leah envisioned for herself was cut short when, at sixteen, she was caught exchanging letters with a male friend, a violation of religious law that forbids contact between members of the opposite sex. Leah's parents were unforgiving. Afraid, in part, that her behavior would affect the marriage prospects of their other children, they put her on a plane and cut off ties. Cast out in New York City, without a father or husband tethering her to the Orthodox community, Leah was unprepared to navigate the freedoms of secular life. She spent the next few years using her sexuality as a way of attracting the male approval she had been conditioned to seek out as a child, while becoming increasingly unfaithful to the religious dogma of her past. Fast-paced, mesmerizing, and brutally honest, Cut Me Loose tells the story of one woman's harrowing struggle to define herself as an individual. Through Leah's eyes, we confront not only the oppressive world of religious fundamentalism, but also the broader issues that face even the most secular young women as they grapple with sexuality and identity.

You know what they say . . . once a porn star always a porn star.Especially when you were born with the tools and the talent. They don't call me 'horseman' for nothing. I wouldn't be the porn king of the west coast if it weren't true. Ladies, I sense your hand on the remote or computer ready to see for yourself. I promise not to disappoint. My bank account tells me so. I'll even fuck you too. And no one has to know. I'm living the dream. Every man's greatest fantasy. Sex-no strings, hot naked girls, payday. We fuck, we film, we forget, and then do it all over again. I don't choose my partner. She's chosen for me. For a while it was the life for me. What better form of revenge than that . . . But I like to think I'm different than most. The truth is, I'm tired, of the endless uncensored intimacy, the constant loneliness off the set, and the lack of emotion that runs within my very veins. I want a break. I almost took it too, but I owed a producer one meeting. He threw something at me I couldn't resist. Reality TV meets porn. She walked up at the perfect time. From the first time I saw her I knew she was different. Quirky, awkward, hot as hell. And a big rack I can't seem to keep my eyes off of. Instant attraction has been foreign to me for as long as I can remember. I'm physically broken, but perhaps she can fix me. Within seconds she already has. And she looks at me as if she doesn't even know who I am. It's my turn to counter. I haven't f*cked my ass off for nothing. This time-I'm picking my partner. He wants me, he better get her. Saxton Maverick has made headlines more than once, but if he comes through, I don't mind sharing the fame. I may even like it. No one turns down a virgin-not even a porn star. Camera tales aren't always fiction.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "My Body offers a lucid examination of the mirrors in which its author has seen herself, and her indoctrination into the cult of beauty as defined by powerful men. In its more transcendent passages . . . the author steps beyond the reach of any 'Pygmalion' and becomes a more dangerous kind of beautiful. She becomes a kind of god in her own right: an artist." —Melissa Febos, The New York Times Book Review A "MOST ANTICIPATED" AND "BEST OF FALL 2021" BOOK FOR * VOGUE * TIME * ESQUIRE * PEOPLE * USA TODAY * CHICAGO TRIBUNE * LOS ANGELES TIMES * SHONDALAND * ALMA * THRILLEST * NYLON * FORTUNE A deeply honest investigation of what it means to be a woman and a commodity from Emily Ratajkowski, the archetypal, multi-hyphenate celebrity of our time Emily Ratajkowski is an acclaimed model and actress, an engaged political progressive, a formidable entrepreneur, a global social media phenomenon, and now, a writer. Rocketing to world fame at age twenty-one, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. The subsequent evolution in her thinking about our culture’s commodification of women is the subject of this book. My Body is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality, and power, of men's treatment of women and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment. These essays chronicle moments from Ratajkowski’s life while investigating the culture’s fetishization of girls and female beauty, its obsession with and contempt for women’s sexuality, the perverse dynamics of the fashion and film industries, and the gray area between consent and abuse. Nuanced, fierce, and incisive, My Body marks the debut of a writer brimming with courage and intelligence.
