5.0
Probably my quickest non-fiction read ever. Shaw covers bi history and culture, talks about how science tried and tries to assess sexuality somewhat objectively and sprinkles in her own experiences as a bisexual woman.
I found this to be a very affirming read, considering how often I personally stumbled upon bi erasure. This book is one I'll probably never stop recommending to friends, no matter their sexuality, gender or relationship status.
