Finding Normal: Sex, Love, and Taboo in Our Hyperconnected World by Alexa Tsoulis-Reay
challenging
informative
medium-paced
4.0
4.0.
Finding Normal is a book about how people with sexual preferences on the fringes of society find connection through the Internet. Covering a range of taboo topics from polyamory to incestuous and "zoophile" relationships, this theme is rather generic and it seemed like the author wanted a way to string these shock-value topics together.
I give this a 4.0 because it is a book on something that I never thought I would read and will likely never read again. It was interesting to read to say the least. The author tries to clearly draw a line between what is generally more accepted (chapters 1-3) to those that are questionable (chapter 4). I will admit that it was difficult to wrap my head around the last ones as I find them to still be gross.
Definitely not a book for everyone but for those with a strong stomach and conscious.
