I started following Alicia on IG after seeing the trailer for “Every Body.” Her work is so influential and I think she one of those people who is going to be a lawmaker or president someday. She has such a beautiful story and her life is spelled out in such delicate terms! Alicia is a badass and she deserves everything! The format of telling her story by her different tattoos

Exceptional read. I knew this would be a 5 star book for me from the first chapter. Such a necessary perspective.

Alicia’s words are important for anyone with a body to read - she shares her story with bravery, authenticity, rawness, and a call to action for us all to better support intersex folx and work toward collective liberation (all while making you laugh, reflect, and learn along the way)

I appreciated Alicia's story and sharing her truth must have been so gratifying. I am glad more Intersex voices are speaking up and being highlighted.

HOWEVER, at times this book felt very preachy, like there were no room for other ideas or opinions and that it was her way or the highway. Especially the bit about cancel culture after quoting Harry Potter. It's uncalled for in this day and age no matter what caveat you add the end of the statement. Stop bringing up HP in 2024. Unacceptable.

The other thing I didn't quite relate to or enjoy was the fact that her white, pretty privilege wasn't acknowledged as much as I felt it needed to me. The amount of dates, hook ups, and propositions mentioned felt like a weird humble brag instead of whatever she was trying to get across. A lot of people do not experience that in any way shape or form and so it felt a little much.

Good for her for getting a book deal and speaking her truth, this just won't be a new favorite non fic for me.
