Should I buy belly of the beast or wrong side of the fist fight, first?

Essentially it doesn’t matter, because they aren’t technically related to each other. But, I think they’re best read in the order they were written (BotB, then WSoFF), because they tackle a lot of the same things in completely opposite ways. I wrote them less than a year apart, but I was in such vastly different places in my life.

Belly of the Beast ( order here! ) was about weaponizing girlhood and softness. It was about recovering from trauma in stubborn, violent ways. It was necessary for me and the state I was in at the time. 

But in a way, Wrong Side of a Fistfight ( order here! ) is almost a complete undoing of that: it’s about reclaiming your own gentle and healing.
