When I first read this book, I didn’t see the ableism in it. I did feel a little uncomfortable with some parts, but didn’t really notice the extent this book’s ableism, consent issues, and other problems go to. All I knew was that I liked Abbie Emmon’s videos and she was smart and pretty and her book would be amazing. I really think Abbie would be able to write a pretty good book, but she’d first need to throw all of this stuff in the rubbish. This is my reread after I happened across some reviews calling out the issues with this book. I felt like I needed some closure with this book that I used to like and now I’ve gotten that. I wish I had not bought this book or the sequel, but alas, tis too late.
