overall, a lot of good information. lots of basics, more in-depth discussions, every section has a tl;dr breakdown of what you just read that makes it easier to know basic points to refer to later. it was a bit repetitious with some information/sentences & the author would often mention how something is talked about more in other chapters. generally not a bad thing, but it happened a lot so it just felt like too much at times.
there are a couple stories interwoven throughout the book that correlate with the section/topic being discussed but they often feel disjointed as theyre so broken up that it's easy, when you get back to it, to be confused a moment before the context comes back to you. understandable why the author set it up this way, the execution was just slightly off for me, personally.
Nagoski brings up tons of good points, information, and i did absolutely get emotional in specific sections that super hit home for me, personally, so it can definitely be a book i go back to reference for myself in the future, but i do wish it was a bit more inclusive in it's language in general. i get it, but as a nonbinary afab person, it just got to me, mostly in the beginning sections.

The takeaway from this book is simple: You are normal.
If you've ever felt broken, unworthy, or unloveable, I strongly urge you to pick up this book. It is both funny and powerful.
