This book offers many different takes on feminism and lgbtqia+ topics through various lenses and characters, most of them black, queer or feminists, sometimes everything at once. It’s nothing groundbreaking and the writing style starts to get a bit too much after so many chapters and different views on those topics, but the general theme is quite interesting. Just sad, that the characters don’t get enough time to dig deeper into the topics the author talks about and offer more insight. 
Over all, not a disappointing read, but still very easy to grasp and not as revolutionary as it might claim to be.
