similarly to the first book, we're given the deep thoughts of the author. i was really glad theyre getting better and less dependant on their parents opinion/expectations. it gives me hope for an unsure future, knowing life isnt doomed is always reassuring.

You’ll probably love this book if you loved “My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness” 

It still follows Nagata, and the theme of loneliness is very strong. But it’s interesting to see her progress and get better/worse in different things. 

I found a handful of points/realizations very relatable, especially entry 7. 

This book doesn’t have as many in your face triggers comparatively to the first one. But I’d still suggest looking at the trigger warning list.

Sweetly relatable, though not as life changing as her first installment. Seeing her perspective and gradual awareness hits close.
