The entire book is full of realistic depictions of the violence and mental illness that accompanies being an out trans person, and it is the focus of the book.hmatt's review against another edition

I found the endless internal monologues of the characters boring. It feels like these sections are trying to be clever and informative, but in my reading they were dull and pedantic. I wanted to get to know the characters more, but I feel like this would have been more effective through advancing the narrative. The sections that are most memorable and characterizing to me are the sections where the plot moved forward, and I wanted more of that.
I know the point of this book was not necessarily to enjoy it. Perhaps it's not a book that was written for me at all, and I'm trying to respect that. But I was/am attempting to take in what this book is communicating, and I can't help but think it could have been more effective in its delivery.

The story of Reese and Ames is complicated, a duo who are sometimes friends, sometimes lovers, sometimes suspected adversaries. Like their relationship each person is deeply complex, and that’s depicted beautifully throughout Detransition, Baby.
The story poses complex emotions towards gender stereotypes and it had me thinking long after I put the book down. To further complicate the storyline it has time jumps, but is so clearly written out and depicted you won’t have trouble keeping up.
