In her mid-thirties, Molly Wizenberg was raising a toddler with her husband when a chance encounter at jury duty sparked her attraction to a female attorney and the realization that she was not straight. Over the ensuing months and years, Wizenberg ends her marriage and explores her newly fluid sexuality with the attorney and, later, a nonbinary partner.
What The Reviewers Say
... blindsidingly beautiful.
Wizenberg’s voracious reading is on striking display throughout. She cites a dazzling array of sources and references spanning a range of cultures and time periods. The notes and bibliography present an added flourish that the bibliophiles among us will appreciate. Wizenberg’s writerly sensibility animates every page.
Drawing on the work of queer writers, including Alison Bechdel and Maggie Nelson, Wizenberg's beautifully written memoir explores what it's like to come out even while continuing to question one's identity and sexual orientation. The book tackles these complicated themes and the meaning of family with compassion and tenderness.
This is a spirited, terrifyingly courageous, and searingly honest memoir of discovering sexual identity and strength..
