The Bi-ble: New Testimonials: The Bi-ble: Volume Two 2: Further Original Essays and Narratives about Bisexuality by Lauren Nickodemus, Ellen Desmond

4.0

This series essays had a wide range, they were touching, heartbreaking but also funny at times. I had not expected to feel so seen after finishing an essay though. I am bisexual myself, but I was never really that aware of how invisible bisexuality was (obvious in hindsight). So to have a book do the opposite, to evolve solely around bisexuality, really moved me. Moreover, I underlined so many lines in this book because I had this overwhelming feeling of "This is me!" so many times.

Another great thing about this book is that it is diverse. The editors really made sure that they did not only give bisexual voices a platform, but bisexual genderqueer people and bisexual people of colour too.

I wouldn't say that it was a joy to read, because some essays mentioned traumatic events that happened to the writer, but at the same time it was. To feel recognised is a joy and I want more of it.
