Interesting and eye-opening. A bit slow/drawn out for my preferences, but overall a well told story.

I was very interested in the story of this book, but I didn't like the deadnaming of two real trans people.

fast compulsive and easy to read. not the sort of 'true crime' I thought it would be but definitely a good dive into classism, racism, the justice system and homophobic people (??). Sounds complicated but it's actually not. 

more thoughts on this coming soon.
