Reviews

4.2 out of 5 stars from 385 ratings
  • To all the Haters

    Wonderfully insightful, witty and funny as ever, warm and inclusive. The tiddle wave of negative reviews is from people leaving bad faith ratings and opinions because they probably don't like themselves more than anything. A real shame but should not take away from this gem and what it has to offer.

Love Like Us, Too (Featuring Trino & Adam)
Q: What does it cost to live visibly in your relationship, and what does it unlock for you when you show up as you are?
