It reads like a mix of a memoir, academic theory, and a practical guide, which was interesting. I struggled to get through certain sections that felt a little repetitive, or were very hyper-specific to Canada and the USA. The intense, firm narration style makes sense and fits with such vital subject matter, but for me became a bit overwhelming after a while, in the same way listening to a lot of impassioned speeches one after the other can make the words being said start to bounce off you a bit.

It’s a book that is simultaneously not for me and everything I need. It’s not an introductory text to disability justice but maybe it should be?
Since it is a collection of essays, it is occasionally repetitive but that doesn’t take away from the collection and how loving it is.
I’ve seen a few other reviews that mention this but this book is not medical advice and I think the author does make sure to cover that, even when it’s more concrete tips.
CW: abuse, suicide, ableism, misogyny, racism and probably more. Take care of yourself.
