The writing style was not for me. Uncouth does not make one clever. However the subject matter kept me intrigued.

Incredibly written inward looking narrative about sexuality, (both queer identity and eroticism), parenthood, partnership, art, and literature. Will revisit when I am a mother

I read for entertainment, but also to help me understand my fellow human beings and to be more loving and compassionate. This is one of those books that helped me to do just that.

What Nelson does so well is break every rule you could possibly think of when it comes to writing a memoir but still let the book make sense. She flips back and forth, but her topics are consistent throughout. Each bundle of anecdotes—no matter how split up they seem—are continually supported by ongoing themes. It truly feels like you're inside of her mind in a really wonderful way.
