I really enjoyed this book and found it easy to follow as well as loved the crafts involved but did get slightly triggered by some chapters making me take a moment to pause on reading it for a while.

It feels wrong to say I enjoyed reading about another’s pain but she did make it enjoyable and relatable and informative. The crafts were a cute touch. 
Lost a star and a half because the times she acknowledged her privilege as a (cis- het-) white woman it came across, to me, as a bit flip. I possibly mistook the tone.
