disclaimer: I don’t really give starred reviews. I hope my reviews provide enough information to let you know if a book is for you or not. Find me here: https://linktr.ee/bookishmillennial

I am going to be frank - I will likely be processing what I read for a while, so I’m unsure if I’ll have anything coherent to say, other than to check content warnings below (a lot of shock value stuff in this) if you decide to read this book and take care while reading. 

I will try another book by the author, but I feel conflicted about this book.

TERFs hate this book because they’re transphobic and weak. I (they/them) hate this book because it’s bad. We are NOT the same. 😤

A really challenging and graphic book, but it had me completely hooked and emotionally invested. 
The characters were all so messy in a way that made them feel so flawed and human. 
I liked that it started a couple of years into the event, it made things really interesting!
