    Picked this up yesterday and already cried even though I’m only ten pages in. Seeing an enby author writing an enby character and being in a mainstream store like Barnes & Noble makes my heart so happy both for them and for my future.

      AGREED. It was such an emotional reading experience just because it was so real and because Mason Deaver GETS IT. I was able to see IWYATB on shelves the other day and it hit me SO HARD. So many people are going to get to experience this story, and that doesn't happen every day for enby characters!!

    I struggled to write my review for this book because it was so personal for me and I couldn’t figure out how to put that into words that explained everything I was thinking, but you did it. You put it all into words. Thanks.

      Thank you so much. It was truly the most singular kind of joy to sit down and put these thoughts together. Mason Deaver DID THAT and it's because of their words and their thoughtfulness that I was able to make these connections. This review was a joy to make from top to bottom!

    as a non binary person seeing myself represented in this way means the whole world. im closeted so honestly reading books like this and the internet are the only ways i have been able to stay in touch with my identity. im a couple chapters in and i haven't been able to stop smiling. cant wait to finish it. thank you for an excellent review/video !! 🖤🖤

    I just spent 7 hours finishing this book, and as someone who had felt so much like Ben I can't say how important this book has been for me already. The way this book managed personally resonate with me as though it was written from inside my mind will never cease to baffle me. The anxiety, the sudden bursts of depression, the gender dysphoria, the desire to express themselves, the art expression, the fear of crowds, and most of all never being able to fully fit all that they want to say in. And finishing it in thought. Seeing myself so much in Ben hurt, but also gave me so much hope it made it all better. I don't care that this video is 2 years old, I just want this somewhere out there. So long, and I wish you all the best.

      I'm so glad to hear that you plan on reading it and also sharing it with your loved ones, because it's really an incredible reading experience! Yes, many languages (like Spanish) are grounded in arbitrary binary gendered undertones, but the good news is that there are still ways to use gender inclusive language besides with just pronouns alone 🌈

      @@perpetualpages Yay but in Hebrew (the main language that I speak) is based of gander like you, toy and more so I found this why I don't use they/them because they also based the gander so that why I use both he and she pounces, in different line but I have a question, do you know if this will have an e copy will be released because I can't find it?

    • @perpetualpages
      @perpetualpages  5 лет назад

      Absolutely true. That's why it's important to remember that enby folx can still use she/her/hers and he/him/his pronouns and still be just as enby as folx who don't! Sadly I don't know much about the international release dates for IWYATB. I know some UK/Europe based readers mentioned having to wait another week or two. Maybe check Mason's FAQ on their website to see if they've addressed this inquiry before?
