Incredible insight into so many different personal experiences. I bought this book with the intention of educating myself but I gained so much more. The joy, strength and spirit of each writer is palpable. Its a very well curated book where each essay is as good as the one before. Each piece of writing will include a content warning if required so if any I've listed put you off, just know that they are not applicable to the entire work.
Graphic: Ableism, Body shaming, Chronic illness, Mental illness, Medical content, and Medical trauma
Moderate: Xenophobia
Minor: Abortion, Blood, Transphobia, Suicidal thoughts, Sexual violence, Sexual assault, Slavery, Rape, Racism, Panic attacks/disorders, Grief, Forced institutionalization, Excrement, and Death of parent
