elthechameleon's review against another edition

challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

4.5

I listened to this book slowly, as each word seemed savored and carefully chosen. I loved the author acting as narrator. 

It is a bit misleading to speak of this as a transgender or non binary book as this author’s identity revolves around being an obanje grappling with embodiment, a concept not in line with western ideas of identity or queerness. 

This book is powerful. Reflective. The author doesn’t care if you like it, and that makes this book more of a gift. 

I loved their plant imagery, particularly the pothos chapter and the final two chapters. Grateful to hear this language.
