    I read it a little while ago and it was really helpful!

    I might actually read it again some time this summer.

    Yes, I have it nearby as I'm typing this. I'm about 3/4 done.

    Please keep me posted as you read! I'm interested in what you find and I'd like to share too.

    *warm hugs*

    I just finished chapter four. Wow this is difficult to read and I can't put it down all at the same time. It's like this guy watched me grow up. I'm drawing connections that I've never considered before. I'm pretty sure I'll have to read this more than once.

    It is pretty clear that Downs' clients are upper middle class or upper class white dudes. And it seems like they all came out as teens or soon after reaching adulthood. I find it really helpful, but it might not apply to everyone.
