4.5
I initially really didn't know how to rate this. I don't often read nonfiction; I've maybe read two other ones in my life. But there was something so 'whimsical' about this that it really sucked me in. The mix of second/third POV, writing styles, concepts, and real-life examples of queer abuse gave itself so well to the fever dream/fairy tale feel I believe the author was going for.
