I read this on another platform but this is my honest opinion. This is such a true, inspiring and just really fun book that I loved reading. I'm currently through a lot at the moment and this helps to heal from my own abuse, abuse and self-hate. And it's nice that Mae has such positivity, great points and the focus on strength at the end almost made me cry. If you aren't straight and/ or Questioning your gender then definitely pick up the book. You'll learn a lot and you'll learn what's important to YOU and not everyone else.
