challenging emotional hopeful inspiring fast-paced

big note off the top: I appreciate the writing style of this memoir, and that the audiobook was narrated by the author! it's always a treat when an author reads their own work.

I struggled with some of the terminology (specifically around
kink
) and concepts (specifically around topics like fanfiction). mostly due to it being substantially more graphic than I was anticipating, especially when it came to
sexual exploration as a youth and adult
and descriptions of
medical experiences
. all in all I think I would have benefitted from content warnings, or otherwise some more heads up in chapter names.

all that said I found myself often resonating the experiences explored, and appreciated learning more about the ones I didn't have first hand knowledge of!
