I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley

Such a useful book. Very helpful and a great resource.

Ritch C. Savin-Williams is a psychologist who specializes in research on the LGBTQ+ community. That being the case, Bi is written with a casual-but-scientific tone. This is the result of his research on the bi community and includes the personal accounts of several men and women who identify as such. This book is certainly interesting, but it isn't really a beginner bi book. It's the culmination of research not an introduction to bisexuality. If you're looking for a contemplative look at bisexuality, this book is a good choice.

Bi by Ritch C. Savin-Williams is an interesting read. For newbies wanting to understand LGBT terminology, this book offers such explanations; however, it also looks at how society and science approach bisexuality, pansexuality etc. and comments on the lack of reliable data from surveys and the erasure of anything but the three key 'positions' of straight, gay and lesbian. The book includes excerpts from interviews with young people from diverse backgrounds who identify in some manner as bisexual, and it is fascinating to see how different people categorise their experiences and self-identify in different terms, especially for someone like me who has long questioned my own sexuality and gender expression. If you are keen to understand more about bisexuality and the many ways it can be expressed and understood, this is a book worth reading as it offers a non-judgmental review of various current views on the topic.

I received this book as a free eBook ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Good book to read if you are a newbie who wants to explore more of sexual orientation but if you already know all of what is mentioned in the book, it might be boring for you. I would’ve liked to see real case studies of different people on their experiences. That’s just me but fairplay to the author for doing this book!

Thanks Netgalley and publisher for giving me the chance to read this book!
