Let's Talk About It

More like 3.5 but rounding up because I think this book could be super important for younger people. (I'm old enough to say that now?!) Anyway, I was introduced to Erika Moen's comics in my psychology of human sexuality and psych of gender classes in undergrad. I loved how she used the medium of comics to explore such a taboo, under-spoken-about topic. I felt like her audience for those was adults and it felt fine. Here, my main complaint is that it felt too forced sometimes to be using the current ~lingo~ if you will of younger people. That being said, the representation throughout this book was excellent. I was so especially happy to see a Deaf person and some signing in one chapter. Moen and Nolan were excellent in depicting all types of bodies, abilities, gender identities, etc. I think this could be a really good tool for getting the conversations about these topics started! Note: there are very graphic depictions of the human body and such, not that that's a bad thing but ya know, be prepared before you crack this book open in public.
