The Blurb On The Back:
Queer, questioning or just curious?
Whether you’re part of the community or an ally looking to learn more, this book is an empowering guide to growing up LGBTQ+. Packed full of friendly answers to BIG queer questions, discover:
- advice on coming out, sex and relationships, allyship and more.
- mental health support to help you love and value yourself
- inspiring stories from people across the LGBTQ+ spectrum
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Alexis Caught is creator and co-host of the Qmmunity podcast and a qualified psychotherapist. This is a chatty, reassuring YA book (with great illustrations by Jamie Hammond) in which Caught and his contributors share personal experiences and advise about identity, coming out, love, sex, pride and being trans. It emphasises trans women more than trans men and is too brief on bi and asexuality but I wish it had been around when I was a teen.
QUEER UP: AN UPLIFTING GUIDE TO LGBTQ+ LOVE, LIFE AND MENTAL HEALTH was released in the United Kingdom on 20th January 2022. Thanks to Walker Books for the review copy of this book.
