I appologise, I am going to be very harsh on this book. Due to no real issue of the book itself, it was near unreadable to me. I trust this book can help a lot of people, but I feel like I am beyond it's scope, and the author is speaking from a position of privilege far beyond the experiences I had hoped to find advice for. It's hard to hear someone tell you they struggled having to wear a size 12, when you yourself wear a 19 and can only shop in specialty stores. In the same vein, is it hard to read about someone's experience being sexualised when you live in a body that is considered beyond sexual appeal. I am unsure if the author realises that the body described as the one they had to learn to live with is the body others envy. I think this sense of awareness was lacking in the writing, if I am honest. This, is what made reading this book very hard on me, as it just caused so much mental distortion that i put it away on the verge of crying various times. 
On a related note, I was happy to see the book mention gender dysphoria, but it did nothing to give any advice on dealing with it other than "learn to accept yourself"... this may be helpful for some, but it doesnt reflect the experiences of many. Sometimes, bodies need to be changed to be a home for those living in them, with hormones or surgery, and I feel this aspect of the queer community is very overshadowed here. 

Ultimately, I think the match between me and the book may not have been ideal, and I would prefer not to give it a star rating at all. But I think my view needs to be out here as well, for people to be able to make an educated decision on wether or not this book is for them.
