A heartfelt and sometimes humorous take on mental illness, sexuality, and just being alive. I loved this book and appreciate the author's vulnerability and ability to speak so frankly about taboo, complex subject matter. As a queer person with major depression, social anxiety, and a history of shame/confusion around sex and sexuality, reading this book was validating and made me feel less alone. 

I also always appreciate hearing about adults who are just beginning to explore sex and their sexuality. There's so much stigma around sexual inexperience and many of us who are "late bloomers" can feel immense shame about this (speaking from experience). I'm grateful to artists and writers who are willing and able to tell stories about later in life sexual exploration. The concept of virginity and the moral judgement we attach to it is not inevitable or necessary!

I didn’t know what to expect going in except that it was an autobiography. It was sad and genuine. The author captured the feeling of loneliness very well.

This is a rare memoir full of honesty and vulnerability. I related a lot to the author and I'm so proud of the growth they made throughout this book! I've never read something before that has candid discussions about the topics of this book and it was really refreshing for someone to speak honestly about their struggles.

This book is definitely not for everyone but I'm so glad I read this. I think it will help a lot of people who feel alone and hopeless. I hope the author is doing well!

I don’t know what to say… I liked it, it made me question my gender and most importantly it made me realise that I can do better with my life, I always felt I was a wast of everything (money, time, talent etc) but now I want to get my life together and be like her
