Checking this out! I don't read fast but I am consistent :D

I appreciate a book that highlights sickle cell. I have a friend who has it who disn't talk about kt for the first decade and a half I knew her and am pleased to see people not oy breaking this taboo but also really showing how this illness impacts people's romantic lives.

Good book. I found the first two chapters difficult because I don't have a background in the type of philosophy that is being built onnin these chapters, but from weighing lives onward the book is great and showed me several new perspectives.

Good book. Pretty information dense, lots of statistics from good sources while being so personal with own experiences and examples from other folks' lives that it doesn't feel as academic as most books with such a stats volume would. Recommended read, especially for thin privileged people to investigate their biases against fat people and why they have them.
