bookedbymadeline's review against another edition

Carl explores his transition and the new male privilege that comes with it. It sounded interesting but I just couldn’t feel motivated to read it. I’m sure many people will find the book helpful or enlightening but sadly the writing style just didn’t hold my attention and I haven’t felt drawn back into reading it so I’ll DNF for now and maybe some day I’ll come back to it
