"There's a reason the ALA ranked Genderqueer as 2021's most banned and challenged book in America. Maia Kobabe's tale of self discovery and acceptance is powerful in its honesty and vulnerability. Eir memoir gave me better language to describe myself, and to better understand asexual members of my queer community. The idea of queer people loving themselves, and commanding respect scares certain people. Despite the frenzy of debate and anger surrounding this title, the book itself is poignant and warm. Nerds of all stripes will find something to relate to, and the bonus content in the new Deluxe edition is perfect for those who love a peek behind the scenes." – Mik
