I think this is so helpful for young gay men, I can only imagine how nice it is to read all this from someone's own perspective and experience. I enjoyed it, the way it's written is very light hearted even if it touches difficult subjects. While it might not be targeted to me as a lesbian I still liked to read someone else's experiences with the community.

I personally have an issue when people call the lgbt+ community the "q*eer community" because it's still a slur for so many people so we can't call a community a slur, but other then that, this book will help and comfort a lot of people.

I like how it does start with steps through the process of figuring out that you're in the lgbt+ community. There are chapters on trans/gender identity, explaining labels in the LGBT+ community (includes aces y'all!), famous people talking about advice they'd give their younger self.

It also delves in the end into safe sex, what is sex, your body,etc.

There is a lot of focus on UK-ireland as...this is a book about an Irish gay YouTuber. However, the information is still useful/readable for those not from there :)


Downloaded from Netgalley (wishbone'd it), exchange for free/my opinion only review. I'm not scoring this with stars/spoons(in my case). As this is a guide, self-help/etc.

An ARC was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

I was interested when I read the description of the book and the book lives up to that.

It's a very personal, heartfelt yet humorous read.

In the book, author Riyadh Khalaf shares honest advice about everything, from relationships to labels, to dealing with bullies, to learning to love your boy, to finding your true friends.

I loved how transparent and honest that he was with everything while at the same time being light-hearted and heartfelt.

This is a good read for anyone, regardless of sexual orientation.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
