–The premise and the setting were interesting.
–I enjoyed a lot of the commentary around transness.
–the Alice in Wonderland retelling aspect was fun.
The bad:
–There were some weird jokes and descriptions that came across like microaggressions.
–The mental illness rep was questionable.
–I wish the MC’s internalized misogyny was addressed better.
–Overall, the book simply didn’t live up to my expectations. The synopsis had me hoping for an investigative mystery. This wasn’t that.
–The resolution was underwhelming.

I would personally recommend checking the content warnings before reading. I didn't and I was quite shocked when some scenes happened because of it. I also hadn't realized it literally says of the back "not suitable for younger readers" and I'm definitely a younger reader. But this book is just amazing please go and read it cause it just so wonderful.
