Messy bitches all round.
Exceptionally well-written, until the ending where it felt like the brakes were slammed; it faltered then just kind of stopped, and not in a satisfyingly unsatisfying way. Still, I liked it a lot.

golem's review

This is SUCH a good book and probably everyone should read it, but...there is just SO much description of transmisogyny and abusive relationships with straight guys and I cannot handle it right now.
