Having a disability myself, I have been on the hunt for more fiction and non-fiction that brings light to disability. I found out about this book through Instagram and knew I needed to read it, and was luck enough to receive an eARC.
The first thing I noticed about this book is that it is very readable. It is easy to understand and straightforward in how it approaches topics. As a person with a disability, none of the content was new to me, but I think it would be valuable for those wanting to learn. It covers a wide range of topics and in many ways, leaves no questions unanswered, or provides direction to resources.
This will be added to my own resources to share with others when they come to me with questions or asking for information and resources.
I appreciated how Ladau approached topics in a positive and hopeful way, providing guidance rather than reprimanding. Though I know many of us are tired of having to do the work for others.
Thanks you to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
