This book is so important and special. Lauren is an amazing writer, with such a genuinely honest voice telling her story. it's not sugar coated and it's not dressed up either. and that's the insane part because the stories she tells are so fucked up and real. We all know that this country isn't to be trusted much less the people running it, but hearing something like this first hand is really enlightening.
Most of us are just trying to find our own unique (possibly fucked up) ways to survive. That's what her essays have shown me. As a queer woman also struggling to survive, Id like to thank Lauren for sharing her story. All we want to be is heard, and understood, and I believe by sharing something so personal with the world, that might be what she wished for as well.
(I added content warnings, but like, it's someone's life and I don't really think it can be categorized into boxes but I added the ones I think could be genuinely triggering. Just keep an open mind)
