If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. 
This book NEEDS to be read by every human I’ve ever met. It’s such an incredible book. Nuanced, validating, ACCESSIBLE. Written by a poor, mad, disabled queer brown survivor centering poor QTBIPOC disabled folks. Ive never read anything with such a wide reaching empathetic readable not-academic book. You will not regret reading this and you deserve the wisdom she shares. Like wow
