I received an ARC copy and I had trouble getting past the first 3 stories. 2 out of the 3 had major ethical issues that I had a hard time continuing the stories. 

In one, we see a sex therapist-like main character who has sex with clients who mainly have mental hurdles to climaxing. I like the normalizing of talking about sexual wellness and sex work, but the problem arose when the main character then dated their client, but tried to justify it by saying it was much more like dating your physical therapist than a psychological therapist, even when there is a lot of mental work that goes into their therapeutic relationship. As someone with a mental health therapist, I couldn’t get past the ethical issues posed to enjoy this story.

In another, we see a teen try to unwillingly “trans” the gender of transphobes in their life. I understand the purpose as a trans person is to show the hypocrisy of not allowing body autonomy, but as someone who is also disabled and often doesn’t get complete say in their medical treatment from backwards doctors, taking away bodily autonomy from anyone, even those I hate, makes me have a visceral reaction. I think this goes into my abolitionist thinking versus punitive thinking, but again I couldn’t get behind this story with the major ethics issues at the forefront.

Others may enjoy this book if you enjoy looking at what unethical decisions supporters by the main characters say about the world we live in and how we should change it. Other stories might be much better later on as well, but for now my arc copy has expired after being turned off of the book for too long.
