Probably my quickest non-fiction read ever. Shaw covers bi history and culture, talks about how science tried and tries to assess sexuality somewhat objectively and sprinkles in her own experiences as a bisexual woman.
I found this to be a very affirming read, considering how often I personally stumbled upon bi erasure. This book is one I'll probably never stop recommending to friends, no matter their sexuality, gender or relationship status.

The difference, however, is that as a bisexual person you are constantly asked Why? Why do you want these things? Why do you have sex with the people you do? How can you know this is what you really want? Are you sure? How can you be sure? What if you change your mind? I dream of a world where people stop asking bisexual people these questions and instead ask themselves these questions.
