I really wanted this to be a 5-star read, but it feels very introductory compared to the level of scholarship and writing that I wanted. It has a lot of heart and I absolutely agree about the disabled ancestry I long to know/to have not had erased from my lineage, as well as the future disabled ancestry I want to foster. But this could've been a really good personal memoir OR a really good set of research had the author committed more.

some interesting topics explored but overall was a little disappointed. it didn't really feel like the author had that much to add to what actually disabled disability justice authors have already written.

rly interesting topic but the author failed the ‘be normal abt disabled people’ challenge in my book . also for a book that claims to be all about accessibility, this was Not that. would love to see the topic explored in a book by someone other than this person
