I love the way this book unfolds. You start out through Juliet's eyes still so new to this world and even if the reader does know these terms, the way it is narrated helps you experience the outside looking in. As Juliet learns, as she deconstructs, you revise your own understanding and start to look at your activism in the way someone starting their journey does. This is also a really good book for understanding white allyship, especially when it might be more hidden. This is a necessary intersectional read for anyone starting or in the middle of their activist journey.
