Very short but I enjoyed it for what it is though I hope Japan legalizes same sex marriage soon for Nagata’s sake and frankly that she joins a book club or lgbt group and makes some friends lol

Heads up the book start off very explicitly talking about her self harm (cutting), ratings disorders (binge eating and anorexia) if those are sensitive topics and she has mom issues tripped up in her lonely romantic/sexual life (tho I agree with her it was tied to her trying to stay childish to get more parental love/unconditional love esp of a parent then anything else) I feel like might be sensitive topic for many.

Also the book ngl made very grateful about the quality of sex education I had formally and informally and even my sex education didn’t mention the clitoris at all being a thing while telling us about particular glands that helped cis men get off vs everything for “girls” was about pregnancy outside of my teachers being feminist enough to say the hymen and idea you can tell if a woman is Virgin is bullshit

I live for these kind of narratives. Raw honesty about really taboo things that really shouldn't be so taboo. Sex is so normalized in our society, but for deeply anxious, poor communicators like us, it's actually terrifying 😂. That's why seeing an escort is so appealing, because like Nagata describes in the book, it's like you can skip past the part where you're embarrassed or trying to please others and instead just be yourself.

When I was 25, I went to Barnes and Noble and nervously flipped through pages of this book, looking over my shoulder. I thought if someone saw me reading this book, with the naked lady on the cover, they’d think I was a lesbian. Turns out I am!

Now at age 32, I bought this book at another Barnes and Noble and happily handed it to the cashier without a second thought. How wonderful.

This book is so raw about the worst and lowest point of the author’s life. I can’t believe how blunt she is about her own past actions that range from embarrassing to troubling. It’s concise, a small book that is so loud, each panel shouts and screams at the reader. (In a good way!)

Deeply insightful about intimacy and vulnerability, and how sex is much more those things than it is the physical act of humans touching each other’s bodies. Honestly much less “lesbian” than I thought in a way. I think by the end of the book, the author can’t even admit to herself yet that she IS a lesbian. It’s not clear.

I like that it’s not tied up with a neat “Queer American YA” type ribbon—I love myself, cue the pride flags. It captures the messy, choked-up middle of that journey and leaves us on a cliffhanger, hoping the best for the author in the future. I’m still thinking of her, hoping she’s like me now, happily handing lesbian books to bookstore cashiers.
