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!

empressnessa's review against another edition

I really loved the premise and writing style of this book and I’m really upset I couldn’t finish it, but I had to DNF because my stomach is too weak for all the gore and general grossness. :(
