Owen M. ★★★★★

I was surprised by how much ground this 64-page book covers—it’s concise but packed with insights that have genuinely shifted my perspective. The writing is clear and accessible, making complex ideas about gender feel approachable without being watered down.

Ella ★★★☆☆

I got this hoping for a deeper dive, but at 64 pages it feels more like a pamphlet than a book. The writing is clear and the perspective is important, I just wish there was more substance to sink into.
