A beautifully written, personal, intimate voyage into what it is to be queerIncredibly eloquent, empathetic and passionate, this book will not just resonate with a new generation of queer people, but with all those who seek to be their allies. A brilliant book -- Owen Jones, author of Chavs and The Establishment
I loved Queer Intentions! Absolutely fascinating and endlessly entertaining, but so much more than that.

It’s really interesting . . . a journey through LGBTQ+ culture . . . questioning lots of things but in a very interesting, self-effacing, relatable way and I think it’s rather cool; I think she’s rather cool actually, I like her . . . it’s a good book’ -- Will Young on the Homo Sapiens podcast

Immersive, funny and relatable. In the style of Louis Theroux, 27-year-old journalist Abraham uses skills she’s picked up working at VICE, Refinery29 and Dazed to find answers to the big questions in her own life. It’s quite the journey . . . A fascinating read for anyone with a passing interest in LGBTQI culture, Queer Intentions not only touches on issues in Abraham’s life, but issues many LGBTQI people in the West are facing ourselves.
