[Andrew K · Rating 4 out of 5]

I felt like this book read me. In a lot of ways reading this made me feel validated. In the ways that I read and I am, I felt a sense of solidarity with (some of) the authors. I wish I had of got a hold of this one sooner. This book put words to feelings that I could not describe, thoughts that I didn't know that I had, and told a history that I did not know was my own.
