I'm a furry and a former mental health nurse so I'll more than likely be reading something gay-ish with animals or mental health related but I might occasionally stray outside of that!

I loved this book, a great fantasy with a good written coming of age story that didn't feel tacked on or take away from the story. If I had to compare it to something, it would be Waterways by Kyell Gold, although this book is obviously much longer and in a different setting!
My only problem with it would be that it is a bit too thick with laying on the lore too fast and the lore is so extensive - admittedly this is just a me problem and probably stems from my more than likely neurodivergent brain and occasional lapses in attention when reading and long stints between picking the book again.
Highly recommended and can't wait to read the next one (over a year knowing me...)

I can't speak for everything in the book, not being a sociology/philosophy major (Foucault... I hate you so much...) but a majority of Jessica's work just confirms what I've always thought about the fandom being in it - it is just like any other fandom and has characteristics of all fandoms, with a little querks here in there from being based mostly online.
The book goes through a clear overview of research on the fandom so far, the responses of furs to less than stellar reception and critiques existing research so far (especially FurScience, which always stood out to me as a bit biased and methodologically flawed). It then gives its own hypothesis (lifestylers vs. casual fans) as well as avenues for further research, including BIPOC which I appreciated.
Overall, worth a read for a balanced outsider's perspective on the fandom and comparisons with other subcultures.
