En bok jeg virkelig ønsket jeg hadde før jeg kom ut av skapet da jeg var 13. Anbefaler å oppbevare denne boka i alle bibliotek og familiehjem, slik at alle ikke-hetero barn og tenåringer kan snike seg til å lese denne. Les den! ❤

Fungerer som en slags håndbok i hvordan å finne seg selv som ung, finne ut om man er skeiv eller hvem man egentlig er både når det gjelder egen kjønnsidentitet og seksuelle identitet men også hvem man elsker og å tørre å åpne seg opp for den kjærligheten. En særdeles viktig bok som alle unge egentlig burde få når de kommer i puberteten. Selv om miljøet rundt og samfunnet er åpent nå, rettighetene er vunnet, er det like sårbart for den enkelte å skulle gå gjennom sin egne personlige kamp med redselen og håp og frykt og alt det innebærer.

Helt grei når det kommer til temaet, men for lesbarhetens skyld kunne denne boken vært mye bedre. Ufullstendige setninger, skrivefeil og altfor muntlig språk har gjort at jeg har irritert meg mer enn jeg har gledet meg over boken.

This book reminded me a lot of a norwegian version of "This book is gay". It has a lot of the same information, just with a Norwegian twist, created for people in Norway. It's a very good book, very informational and fun. I really enjoyed reading it and it got me out of a 3 month reading slump.

Denne boka hadde litt om alt.

Mitt 16-årige usikre jeg skulle hatt denne boken. Den bør stå i en bokhylle i ethvert hjem og alle bibliotek, til hjelp for alle ikke-heterofile barn og unge som prøver å finne sin vei.

Sånn helt okay. For en person som har nettopp funnet ut om seksualitet sin ville jeg anbefalet denne boken. Men hvis ikke, så er det ikke en som er veldig viktig å lese.

Informativ og bra, men generelt «bare» midt på treet for meg. Om du ønsker en lærerik og morsom bok om det å være skeiv, kjør på; les den! Den er absolutt verdt det! Jeg personlig er dog på utkikk etter noe mer kompleks med mer dybde.

December 21, 2017I don't really have a clear rating for this book. It's a very important book, and I think it will especially be helpful for those who are young and curious, but at the same time there are a few points I severely disagree with. I don't really feel like it deserves neither a high nor a low rating.
Anyway, I have a few things to say about this. Like I said, it's an important book. It's informative and interesting, but I feel like it really fails at portraying bisexuality in a proper way. I found myself getting quite offended at how the authors insinuated that bisexuals are only interested in two genders, men and women, and ignore all other gender identities, because that's not the case at all. Some research on other sexualities than homosexuality and heterosexuality before writing this book would've paid off, just saying. Another thing I raised an eyebrow at was how it was mentioned that it was normal to go from being homosexual to heterosexual. Some people might realize later in life, after having identified as gay for most of their life, that they're heterosexual after all, and that's totally fine! People should use whatever label they're most comfortable with, but I just found it quite... I don't know, offensive? that being bisexual wasn't presented as an option as well. It seems to me that the authors have a very black and white view on sexuality: if you're into the same gender, you're gay, if you're into the opposite, you're straight, and only if you have a 50/50 preference for men/women, you're bi. That's really not the case at all, and I really wish the authors would have researched this some more so they could have accurately described bisexuality.
All in all, this is a very informative and interesting book that is definitely worth picking up! But due to how bisexuality was represented in it, it was hard for me to completely love it.

Dette er det jeg trengte når jeg var på vei ut av skapet og anbefaler alle uansett om du er, kjenner eller er forelder til en skeiv person! Takk for denne gaven og livslinjen Anette og Bård har gitt meg.
