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.

I went back and forth on whether or not to give this five stars - the plot wasn't quite what I was expecting, which threw me a little. But at the end of the day, I couldn't deduct a thing - it shows impressive skill for an author to write such deeply flawed characters that you still back 100%, and that's how I felt about Reese, Ames and Katrina. As a baby trans myself this book found me at exactly the right moment and made my heart feel full, and my soul feel brave.
