4.25
4.25/5
Audiobook narrated by the author.
A comprehensive summary and discussion on the many facets of bisexuality. Shaw guides the reader through the history and definition of the orientation, discusses the current challenges faced by bi- and multi-sexual people and the various intersectional points.
- This book appears very thorough as a review of bisexual history and talking points. It does not particularly cover any new ground but it does ask questions about the future based on past and present research and experience.
- As a bisexual person, it is both very obvious and also wonderful that this book was written by another bisexual. I felt so affirmed that someone put into coherent words the feelings I have about my sexuality.
- Despite the detail included in the book, at no point did it feel like an academic textbook. Yes, studies are mentioned but they are explained and I think someone with very little grasp of scientific research would be able to enjoy the book just fine.
A really affirming and interesting book. I would recommend to those who enjoy nonfiction queer books and wish to expand their knowledge of multisexuality.
