    While informative, the writing style was not my favorite. I would recommend other books on the subject first.

    A bit slow-paced for my taste, but the stories are undeniably compelling. Worth the read if you’re patient.

    An interesting exploration, but I struggled with some of the narrative choices. The foreword by Dan Savage was a great addition though.

    It was okay; I didn’t connect with any of the writing styles of authors.

    A powerful and thought-provoking book. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come and how much further we have to go.
