bdietrich 's review for:

What We Left Behind by Robin Talley
4.0

An exploration into sexual identity, labels, understanding one's self, independence, and relationships-- both platonic and romantic. There is a big emphasis on trans/gender nonconforming self-discovery that I've never witnessed in a book. It is an enlightening read in regards to self-analysis as an individual and in regards to male/female-ness (both biological and societal). The book is interrelationship-heavy as opposed to plot-heavy.
