I ordered this book in at the library but am going to have to get my own copy asap as there were so many bits i wanted to highlight and come back to. As a nonbinary person there were so many moments throughout this book that I felt so seen and happy, not something that often happens in our ciscentric world. I found myself smiling, nodding, hurting and nearly crying. These stories were so special to read and really covered a wide range of nonbianry and gender nonconforming experiences, discussing lots of intersections that hadn't even crossed my mind. An amazing book to read as a nonbinary person but equally important for cis and binary people to read to gain a better, deeper understanding of what it can be like to be a nonbinary person. Spectacular, we need our stories to be told, our way.

I read this as supplementary read alongside my fiction books from the library, and I think this type of essay compilation works better as a one at a time read than a long sit-down session.

I think it’s a solid collection of essays. I enjoyed the broad range of topics covered and it made me reflect on my own identity a lot. It’s probably a book I’ll have to read again at some point.
