"It's great for those who need an insight on the LGBTQ+ community or those that are struggling to figure out their own identity. I personally loved this book! It's an easy read and I love all the illustrations. I'm still very sure of how I identify but this book helped me understand and find out about other identities. I've had this book for a while now and I've lent it to 3 of my friends who were curious or questioning and they all loved this book. I'm going to order another book to give it to my local library cause I think it's just such a great resource for people."

The ABC of LGBT+ Ashley Mardell Books Reviews


  • I've always wanted to read an in-depth book on LGBT and sexualities and genders of all sorts. I'm a lesbian and have only recently discovered my sexuality a little over a year ago, so I immediately flocked to this book. I finished it in two days, which is a record for me.
    First, it has its own dictionary and glossary. The author really put a lot of work into this book and defined everything they thought readers wouldn't understand at first. Each term is talked about and explained thoroughly throughout the book. Within this book are personal accounts of the author and other real people who share their experiences.
    Everything is divided up into sections with their own chapters to keep clarification.
    There's so much to learn. LGBT is only a bit of what this book explains. I thought I knew all there was to know about my sexuality and others, but this book taught me that there's more. It even explains on what is sensitive and appropriate to say to people, and encourages people to be who they are, whoever that may be.
    I recommended this book to a friend. It's definitely a must-read for anyone who is conflicted on their sexuality or gender.
    It's been months since I've read it but it still sticks with me.
  • Comprehensive, explanatory, and overall lovely, this book dives deep into the variety of identities which exist outside the narrow view of the mainstream media. I can't wait to share this with my friends! I hope they learn as much as I have.
  • Ash, you know you did good! I'm so pleased with this book. As a nonfiction, I was afraid I wouldn't be entertained, but this is actually a book that I enjoy sitting down and reading through. I've only read the first section and it's already helped me learn more about my own identity as well as others, even though I consider myself to know a LOT about the lgbtqia+ community. It also really helps to see different faces from the community and hear what they have to say. It's even more reassuring when I agree with them! I haven't disagreed with a single thing in this book so far and I don't think there's anything Ash has left out. It's very well done, accurate, and the wording is precise. Fantastic work, Ash. This book will be passed down for generations in my family. From me, to my (currently 10 months old) kiddo, to my kiddo's kiddos. Just trying to spread the love and acceptance.
  • Ash uses accessible language and stories in order to make labels and identities within the LGBTQ community understandable! They highlighted various sexual and romantic orientations and gender identities through research, discussion and the voices of others who were willing to share their own experiences. There are also adorable illustrations and self reflection activities. All in all, it really makes you stop and think about the complexities of the human experience. I absolutely loved it!!
  • This books was very informative, but also held your attention. The fact its somewhat interative in the sense of you writing down, I think it was gender and gender expression, really made it fun. Made me really understnad myself and others of the community that use expressions that I wasn't exactly sure what they were. Also that it had not only the author's own experience, it had others as well. Every description and definition was easy to understand. The book is also pretty colorful with its comics here and there! I really enjoyed it, awesome job, Ash!
    - From a fellow Ash!
  • The author has put together a great deal of information that can be related to easily. Perfect for someone like me trying to understand things about others and relate to things about myself that I have never understood.
  • It's great for those who need an insight on the LGBTQ+ community or those that are struggling to figure out their own identity. I personally loved this book! It's an easy read and I love all the illustrations. I'm still very sure of how I identify but this book helped me understand and find out about other identities. I've had this book for a while now and I've lent it to 3 of my friends who were curious or questioning and they all loved this book. I'm going to order another book to give it to my local library cause I think it's just such a great resource for people.
  • Really helpful book! Because there are so many terms, this is perfect for both beginners and people with experience within the LGBTQ+ world. The author uses language that is easy to understand and includes excerpts from people with the identity that's being explained. I wasn't so sure I'd learn something new since I knew a lot of terms, but I definitely learned about a few new terms and I also understood some other terms better. It helped me understand my own identity as well, and not be so hard on myself about not "fitting in" perfectly with what I thought was the identity. I definitely recommend this to everyone who is open to learning more about LGBTQ+ terms!
