Bitterly funny and wonderfully written. Messy queer rep. A thought provoking ending.

There's a lot of fun to be had in this novel, and a lot of human observation. But it was also challenging and informative for a straight cis woman like myself. Highly recommended.

book club read!

i have a lot of thoughts about this book. i tried to read it about a year ago and it didn’t take but i love the premise of this book and i really wanted to persevere this time! 

• i don’t know how to feel about the characters, they’re all quite selfish in their own way BUT they do have reasons for a lot of their behaviour? so i could not pick a favourite (or least favourite) either way
• it wasn’t as funny as i was told it would be :(
• i thought it was incredibly interesting to see the trans experience from the perspectives of all three parties involved. i have learnt a Lot about trans culture from this book, and although it is not the experience of every single trans person i feel like i am now in a better place to understand than i was before. 
• i didn’t know the ending of this book before i read it so as i was going through i was thinking
  why don’t they have the baby yet Ugh why is this just 350 pages of them before having the baby!!??? and then i read the final chapter and understood why
   
• overall it was a struggle to read because of the long chapters and sooo much description but i did end up enjoying it a bit in the end
