- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.5
- The premise and the setting were interesting.
- I enjoyed a lot of the commentary around transness.
- The Alice in Wonderland retelling aspect was kinda fun.
- There were some weird jokes and descriptions that came across like microaggressions.
- The mental illness rep was questionable at best.
- I wish the MC’s internalized misogyny was addressed better.
- Overall, the book simply didn’t live up to my expectations. The synopsis had me hoping for an investigative mystery. This wasn’t that.
- The resolution was underwhelming.
