Wow this book was beautiful.

Sarah McBride is definitely an inspiring, intelligent & strong woman.

I decided to go for the audiobook (again, I'm kind of loving audiobooks for non-fiction) and it was definitely the way to go. Hearing Sarah talking about her coming out journey (and the support and rejection that followed), her love of politics and her fight for legislation change and her incredibly love story with her late husband was humbling, heartbreaking and overall brilliant.

I really appreciated her self-awareness when it comes to her own privilege. As she repeats throughout the book, she does not represent the entirety of the LGTBIQ+ community, even the trans community, but she is there to fight for all.

I also loved the way she described Andy and their relationship. The way they challenged each other, the way they loved each other and the way they took care of each other. Although I was aware of Andy's story before going into this book, my heart broke at that last "I love you too".

I had to remind myself over and over again that McBride was still in her late 20's when this book was published (I believe she'll be 30 this year). The myriad of experiences (good and bad) that she'd gone through and her mature voice can make you forget that she was only 25 years old when she spoke at the Democratic National Convention (2016). Sarah made history then and I know she will keep making history in the future. She already is: In July 9, 2019, McBride formally announced her candidacy for the Delaware Senate.


Highly recommend!
