Listened to as an audiobook.
This was, for the most part, a really enjoyable listen and I think the humour was up my street. It was definitely light and a bit silly and quite predictable (I guess almost everything that happened) but I still enjoyed it. However right at the end there's some casual transphobia that's pretty much played off as a joke, and given how much homophobia is a theme through the book and very much addressed and heartfelt, the unaddressed transphobia that didn't add anything to the plot left me with a huge sour taste.
