aus10england 's review for:
The Book of Non-Binary Joy
by Ben Pechey
informative
fast-paced
Oof, this was… not what I hoped!
The positives: this is a great resource for young queer people wanting to learn more about non-binary identities. I especially liked the outside quotes included in every chapter, I found those to be great pieces of information.
The not positives: I got frustrated in a few parts, specifically with the author telling the reader to “just Google it” like ??? I’m reading a book you tell me? This was also sold on the beginning as a guide for experts and newbies alike and, not to give cis men a reason to be valid but, tearing them down does not a potential ally entail. I respect what the author is trying to do, but that with ending several sentences with “darling” left me feeling a bit let down.
More non-binary non-fiction please! Like I said, great resource for young queer people, but hopefully this will inspire more books on the subject.
