emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

I read this in one sitting, an absolute must read for everyone. So informative, funny and inspiring. 
I laughed, I cried, I learned and I feel more empowered than I did before I read it. 

The only thing I would say is that there is so much more than could be said about other sexualities on the spectrum, but a really positive start

I feel like it's only fitting to end 2022 with a banned book, so here we are! Am I surprised certain people want this banned? Unfortunately, no. But it's a great introduction to the LGBTQ+ community, breaking down sexuality, gender, and some of the history behind the LGBTQ+ community. I think it's  a great jumping off point for teens questioning their identity, and even for adults who don't know, either.

The tone of this book is really easy to read; it's lighthearted (for the most part), and interspersed with illustrations throughout. It's a really easy book to read, and I hope that it makes it into the hands of people who need it.

An enjoyable book with important information on LGBTQ+ history and facts. I recommend to people who don't understand LGBTQ+ that want to learn.

informative reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

It was quite informative but lacked representation for asexual and aromantics. However, there is only so much you can fit in a book and I know there are other books that specifically talk about the aro/ace identities.
