Welcome to Litsy!

I absolutely loved this one! I listened to it (which was really nice). I love the mix of Spanish throughout. (Also, my family celebrates Dia de los Muertos - not like this family, but still.) Can't wait to discuss with #RiseUpReads

I appreciated the author's emphasis in this book on the lives of people in the marginalized QTBIPOC disabled community. So often, they are overlooked.

As a disabled person, I found the book to be hopeful, helpful, and enlightening. I am often not aware of my own ableism or need for community of others like me. I feel like I learned a lot.

I really resonated with this book as a fat femme with multiple chronic illnesses. One of which I'm still trying to get a diagnosis for even though I've been dealing with it my whole life. I'm newer to the disabled community so this book was a great learning tool for myself. One of my goals is to find and build disabled support for myself both online and local.

What did y'all think of the book? Anything that stood out?
