Emily B,
As well as being entertaining this book was also informative and inspiring not just for those in the LGBTQI+ community。 I also came away from this book with a bunch of other books to read, art to look into and films to watch。 I listened to the audiobook and it was great to hear some of the writers read their own essays however it mean I missed out on the illustrations
