After finishing this book I feel as though I’m the one tied up into a knot. The Book of X left me stunned and breathless. I think, in just over 200 pages, I’ve gone through every emotion possible.

Every word and every sentence was written with such precision and intent behind it to make sure that the meaning of this book was clear. It made it hard to put this book down and despite the rough topics that it tackles, I think Sarah Rose Etter presented them perfectly and uniquely.
