This book is empowering and is going to help a lot of people. My main concern going into this book, was that it wasn't going to be intersectional but I was proven wrong. Essie discuss the link between being queer and body image. I liked that she talked about her childhood, I feel that this is commonly overlooked when discussing body positivity. They also talk sensitively about eating disorders within the LGBTQIA+ community, what I truly appreciated was Essie interviewing a range of people from the community as it shared a wider perspective. I could also tell that this was well researched throughout which made for an overall good reading experience.
