Hetki kesti tottua kertojan ääneen, mutta heti totuttuani jäin koukkuun. Päähenkilö Sofie puhuu suoraan lukijalle ja kertoo selkeän kaaottisesti omasta elämästään.
Kirja on ilmeisesti autofiktiota. Kirjassa käsitellään seksuaalisuuden lisäksi suhteita, sukupuolta ja mun mielestä myös yksinäisyyttä. Teoksen huumori ja itselleen piikittely on erityisesti hyvää.
”Tarina olisi ehkä voinut olla loogisempi tai selkeämpi, mutta rehellisesti sanottuna itse en niin hirveästi arvosta loogisuutta tai selkeyttä.”
Kirjaa suositeltiin mulle Tammen/Kosmoksen porukan toimesta, ja kyllä osuttiin oikeaan taas kerran. Kiitos siis kirjasta ja suosituksesta.

The History of my Sexuality follows the protagonist Sofie Lakmaker as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery alongside a journey of discovering the meaning to love and life.
In many ways, I also feel this book is about change. Change in one's life, change in the world, just change in general. You're never truly prepared for it and I feel Tobi Lakmaker did a great job at highlighting this.
The conversational tone to this book made it all the more easier to read and I found myself flying through this story. This story is one to be read, to be heard.
For me, this book hit home, particularly the last part where a death gets discussed, a death that had been hanging over the entirety of this novel. It related to something that occurred in my own life and really connected with me.
