Pompous. Disorganized. Attention-seeking.

This book was more about trying to seem “woke” than it was about being bisexual. I was truly looking forward to learning about Jen’s experience with bisexuality, but instead I was met with a condescending tone, clunky story-telling, and terrible jokes. Disappointed.

Just couldn't get into this one, unfortunately. Maybe one to try again or in print one day.

I was a solid three until the last chapter, then upped it to a 3.5 because the last chapter flowed so well. I’m not usually an essay reader, so the flow was challenging for me most of the time. I got lost in the timeline frequently. Overall, I enjoyed the content enough to finish and the author’s frank-ness in describing their feelings resonated so much!!

I don’t think this book was particularly ground breaking or perspective changing for me, but nevertheless I appreciated Winston’s reflections on her life, her introspection, her honesty and her awareness. Though at times I found myself kind of rolling my eyes at her maybe over-self-awareness at her privilege and position I think I probably would have critiqued her if she hadn’t demonstrated this so I can be too upset. In short I thought these were sweet, and enjoyable reflections on her life and experiences and I appreciated hearing more about the struggles and insecurities she has felt as a bisexual woman. I also appreciated the variation in style between chapters and all the references to external sources of her knowledge and growth. Largely this read as a book I would write myself if I wrote a book so of course I’m always going to appreciate that…

Vague regrets re: listening to some of this without headphones. Sorry to anyone else who happened to be home!
