***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.

For the most part I really liked it. Florence Given writes/reads/speaks so beautifully and infectiously. Half the book feels like you’re in a therapy session, full of reflection, hard truths, and self care. Some parts later on though I don’t fully agree with.  Recommend for women & queer people to give it a read, especially a listen on audiobook. It’s read by Florence.

inkyinsanity's review against another edition

This isn't a bad book, but it is very entrance-level feminism. I’d recommend her podcast or videos instead.

As a chronically online intersectional feminist this brought no real new info but it reinforced my ideas of feminism and my leftist ideals. 

I like her writing style and a lot of the book is very recognizable as a bi woman of the same age. Its a great introduction for people that are not that deep in to (intersectional) femenism yet. 

The only thing that I'm missing is when she lists marginalised groups she tends to omit disabled in the list. Maybe she focuses on it more in the full version, but sometimes every marginality is mentioned but that. I know it's the short version but it wouldn't have added a page I think.

It lacks some chapters from the original edition, which I was not aware of before purchasing, however, it does have an extra chapter the original does not have.
