Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Would You Rather? is a lovely memoir about a woman who grew up in a sheltered, moderately conservative area coming to terms with her sexuality. The reason this is so revolutionary is because, as Katie herself says, there are so few widespread stories about adults realizing they're gay. So many people say that they always knew, it leaves little room in the narrative for people like Katie, who didn't always know. Overall, it was an enjoyable read that I'm glad I picked up! My only complaint was that it does meander at times and that the end kind of trails off for me instead of ending strongly.
