I loved this. I believe you need to watch Nanette before reading it, but now I’m going to go and watch Nanette again with this supporting it.  I found some parts difficult to read and the timeline jumped around a little, I could have done with more markers indicating the time shift.
All up a good book that is so revealing and important for all people to read to learn more about both neurodiversity and sexuality and the impacts the ‘norms’ have on those who identify as either or both.
Thank you Hannah.

This book was extremely healing for me. It’s dark and messed up, but the way they tell their story is unlike any other book I’ve read. There are hard parts but the humor is balanced so well that it never is too much. If you are neurodivergent or queer, this book will make you feel seen and loved.

What a great book! It’s terribly sad, and very emotional, but also engaging and a bit inspiring. If you’ve watched the show, you know what to expect.

Like Nanette but for an entire book.  Exceeded my expectations and I was already delighted to see that it was read by Hannah herself.
