At the end of the day, the casual writing style just isn’t for me. I felt like I was trying to dig for something of substance and all this book had was fluff. If you’ve read Come as You Are, or any other books in that “your sexuality is normal” genre, you’ve read Come Together. It didn’t really have anything new to say, and it had more of the author’s personal antidotes than Come as You Are.

I absolutely loved this book. I found it super interesting and I feel like it's helpful for people to read and think about even if you're not in the midst of an active problem you're trying to solve. Nagoski takes a radically open approach to things like sex, desire, and gender, and really breaks down a lot of the socially ingrained things people think they "should" feel or do with regard to sex. This is a perspective I think everyone needs to hear, and I took a lot of notes. Each chapter also helpfully has a tl;dr at the end so you can reference key points later.

Thank you to Netgalley and Ballantine Books for the chance to read and review this ARC.
