I'm a Wild Seed by Sharon Lee De La Cruz
4.0

The size and length of this made it feel more like an extra-long zine to me than a "book," which is cool! I like zines! I think it makes it an approachable read, maybe especially for ~reluctant readers.~ BUT I could also see some readers less likely to pick it up because it looks a bit physically insubstantial--like a seed, if you will. But the art is fun and it's engaging, and I think it would be especially appreciated by readers questioning their sexuality, especially later in life--countering the idea that everyone "just always knows" because there's a lot of cultural programming trying to convince some people otherwise.
