Coming Out is succinct, warm, and almost like having a conversation with a trusted friend. It is easily accessible throughout the YA age-range. I do wish the stories and examples would have addressed a more variety of scenarios.

Thanks to the publisher for providing an eARC of Coming Out: Insight and Tips for Teenagers in exchange for an honest review.

While I enjoyed its focus on making sure you're in a safe space before coming out, queer mental health, support resources, healthy relationships, and safe sex, I really wish Coming Out either included tips for more types of queer or made sure to target itself as a book for teens with same-sex attraction.

The book uses the LGBTQAI+ version of the acronym over and over again and also has a section where they define a lot of sexualities and gender identity, but almost all of the information is geared towards gay, lesbian, or bi teens and every single one of the personal stories advertised is about someone realizing they have some form of same sex attraction. I'm not saying I expected this to represent every single identity, but when a book starts off by defining every letter of LGBTQAI+ and even some identities not included in the acronym and then only gives advice, statistics, and accounts for a small, specific sect of that identity, it's kind of a let down.
