Get OFF My Unicorn: Life Lessons from a Kinky, Polyamorous, Transsexual Lesbian Whose Kids Still Call Her “Dad” by Katie Anne Holton is the kind of book that arrives laughing, sits down uninvited on your couch, eats your snacks, and somehow leaves you wiser than when it showed up. It is bold, funny, intimate, occasionally outrageous, and unexpectedly tender, a collection that feels less like a lecture and more like a long, honest conversation with the smartest friend you know, the one who refuses to pretend life is neat, quiet, or easily categorized.
Katie Anne Holton is best known to millions of readers as a singular voice on Quora, where she spent over a decade answering questions that ranged from hilariously naive to painfully sincere. With more than seventy-two million views, her writing resonated because it did something rare, it treated human curiosity with respect while never taking human nonsense too seriously. She answered questions people were afraid to ask out loud, questions about sex, love, identity, parenting, and shame, and she did it with wit sharp enough to cut through hypocrisy and warmth deep enough to make even uncomfortable truths feel survivable.
