LGBTQIA+ (Nonfiction.) Health & Fitness. Humor (Nonfiction.) Young Adult Nonfiction. HTML:

The bestselling young adult non-fiction book on sexuality and gender!

Lesbian. Gay. Bisexual. Transgender. Queer. Straight. Curious. This book is for everyone, regardless of gender or sexual preference. This book is for anyone who's ever dared to wonder. This book is for YOU.

There's a long-running joke that, after "coming out," a lesbian, gay guy, bisexual, or trans person should receive a membership card and instruction manual. THIS IS THAT INSTRUCTION MANUAL. You're welcome.

Inside you'll find the answers to all the questions you ever wanted to ask, with topics like:

  • Stereotypes — the facts and fiction
  • Coming out as LGBT
  • Where to meet people like you
  • The ins and outs of gay sex
  • Stereotypes — the facts and fiction
  • How to flirt
  • And so much more!

This candid, funny, and uncensored exploration of sexuality and what it's like to grow up LGBTQ also includes real stories from people across the gender and sexual spectrums, not to mention hilarious illustrations.

You will be entertained. You will be informed. But most importantly, you will know that however you identify (or don't) and whomever you love, you are exceptional. You matter. And so does this book.

This book is for:

  • Anyone with questions
  • Parents of gay kids and other LGBT youth
  • Educators looking for advice about the LGBTQIA+ community

Seriously, and sometimes not so seriously, this is a really great read. I am so happy to include this title in my Teen collection, and have it showcased with a display of LGBT books in the teen area. I bet it will be checked out by Monday!

This book gives a realistic, yet humorous look at LGBT struggles, coming out, acceptance, and everything in between. It is the GO-TO book for all LGBT topics regardless of sexual preference. ( )

I read this awesome book from cover to cover in just a few short hours due to it being so informative, interesting and entertaining. As a grown man who is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, there was much information included in this work that, before reading, I was totally oblivious to. Every topic that you can think of regarding sexuality is thoroughly explained within these pages and I feel that whether or not you are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, an ally, or otherwise, you can learn a whole lot from Juno Dawson. Believe me when I say that you will laugh out loud, dry tears from your eyes, and find this book nearly impossible to put down as long as you approach it with an open mind and a happy heart! ( )

Probably the strangest book rec I've ever had. My mom's Bible study group read this and she is pushing it at everyone she knows. She's 85. I've read the reviews that find it problematic, but I'm giving it 5 stars because of the Bible study rec. ( )

Read this one because it's one of the challenged books in our local school district.

From my POV the only flaw is that in 2023 it's jokes and pop culture references are out of date but the actual substance of the book itself is great. I think this is exactly the kind of book that SHOULD be on shelves in school to answer questions about things that everyone wonders about but doesn't know who to ask for clarification. ( )

No...

The book started off great, I was getting really into it and I felt very validated. But after about a third of the book, the information became severely outdated to the point where some of the information seemed inappropriate to modern day, which was very confusing because at one point in the book there is a mention that this book was reviewed or edited in 2020. I can appreciate the efforts to bring awareness and proper education to LGBTQ for when this book was published, but I would not recommend that anyone reads it for accuracy or education in 2022 or the years to follow.
