So just going into this, my rating mostly reflects my personal enjoyment/experience reading this book. It's not indicative of the book's quality or the validity of the authors' experiences. 

That being said, I didn't really find myself connecting to this book. As an asexual, nonbinary person, I was hoping to find something that would give a little validation, but there wasn't a piece that fuly clicked with me. It didn't really help that the first chapter covers sex and relationships, which are completely out of my depth. The section on nonbinary experiences consists of a single chapter that merely explains binaries and doesn't exactly get too personal. The essays dealing with navigating friend and family relationships did hit home a few times, but I still found myself skimming past a few.

The closest piece that came to resonating with me was "2018 Love" in which the author ends the essay by saying that the term "self love" is a privilege given to those with the resources and environment that encourage self discovery and that "self-like" is more realistic. Gotta say, it does seem more attainable as like is the natural precursor to love.

While I didn't find myself much in these pages, I know there are several people that will.
