I loved this. Maybe I’m biased as a disabled queer, but this was great. It’s not often I laugh out loud reading a book but I did so several times while reading this. Definitely rec to my fellow queers (and allies or whatever)

Very poignant and thoughtful but also hilarious. Well structured and also just insanely well written. Half of the time you feel like you’re talking to a friend in crisis, and the other half you feel like you’re having a breakthrough in therapy. Absolutely unhinged in the best way possible.

Much more lighthearted than I thought it would be based on the cover and the description. Very high level of snark. Interesting premise. Not very much subtext- all text
