***may contain spoilers of content***

In general I really like the book. I specifically loved the highlight of the privilege because I think we tend to overlook these pretty easily! There are only one or two point that I don't agree with the author, e.g. if you have trauma, you shouldn't enter into a relationship.

Fantastic book! Had me doing a lot of self reflection, and I really enjoyed a lot of the anecdotes. I think this is an important read for everyone, no matter their identity/gender/orientation. It was eye opening in a lot of ways, and a very enjoyable read!

The book is gorgeous.  Each page has its own pattern of colours and the art is so well done.  The chapters were a great starting point, and I really appreciated how the book was written.

However, I think the book would have been more impactful if I was still in my 20s. In fact, I wish this book existed when I was in my 20s. I think a lot of young women would benefit from reading this (and more than a few males.)
