- 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

The book saw children as merely property. Additionally, womanhood was seen mostly as caring for children or having a baby which is inherently sexist.
The book was supposed to be funny but nothing about it was funny whatsoever. The summary made it seem like these women were going to be raising a baby together and that’s what I was expecting to see within the first couple chapters not just filler. The ambiguous ending sucked.
10/10 do not recommend and I am surprised by the overwhelming amount of positive reviews. THIS IS NOT GOOD TRANS REPRESENTATION AND DO NOT PICK THIS UP TO LEARN ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE! I really wanted to root for a trans author but im sorry this book was not the one.
All of these characters deeply need therapy tbh (preferably feminist therapy)
