This is the second time I’ve attempted to read this - the first time was via audio and I retained very little of it - this time my ebook copy was due back to the library.
I’m not sure if I’ll attempt to read it again, hence why I’m marking it as a dnf instead of putting it back on my tbr as I normally would. I think this book is important and has a lot to offer, especially if you want an insight into the lives of actual disabled people telling their own story, as opposed to inspo porn books/movies made by non-disabled people — It just put me in a bad mood every time I picked it up. I’m currently going through a lot regarding my own disabilities, so it made me feel a bit hopeless.
Graphic: Body shaming, Racial slurs, Stalking, Medical trauma, Suicide, Racism, Murder, Ableism, Sexual content, Death of parent, Colonisation, Sexual harassment, and Sexual assault
Moderate: Genocide, Suicidal thoughts, Rape, Alcoholism, Cancer, Domestic abuse, and Religious bigotry
Minor: Islamophobia and Drug abuse
Graphic: eugenics, infanticide, incarceration, Moderate: forced sterilization. Also, there are content warnings listed for some of the essays in the collection, but I felt that some of them missed things that should’ve been listed, so be aware of that. I also am likely missing content warnings in my review, as I didn’t read the whole book.elizabethkore's review
