Turquoise Coney's essay, "Expect the Unexpected"

"I had the kind of headache that sits in your eyes pressing down on your face."

I love this line because it really gets into the way the body reacts to a day-long experience with fasting. I'd actually like to see more physical details in this essay because fasting has so much to do with the body. But, I am glad that we, as readers, really get to get into Turquoise's head with this essay--we get everything she's thinking and I think that's a real strength. I definitely got that this is a very honest narrator--telling everything. It feels like Turquoise isn't holding back.
