DNF 
Even halfway through it still felt like a slog. I found myself caring more about the present story but annoyed by the constant flashbacks. 
As a nonbinary person, I was annoyed that the author kept the characters very binary. They were either a man or a woman with no allowance for something in between or discussion of gender as a spectrum. I read Ames/Amy as a genderfluid person but the author and the other characters wanted to shove them in a box.

Dark at times, but thought provoking about what it means to be a mother and some of the experiences of being trans women. Writing style seems good. Dual POV.
