This book wasn’t as feminist as it claims to be. There was a real chance here for this author to portray they/them pronouns in literature that was missed. Additionally, there were trans-exclusionary plot lines. This was a great concept that was poorly delivered.

There were a couple of things I would've liked this book to do/address that it didn't, and some of the info conveyance felt a little clumsy- the narrator asking nosy personal questions and the others just... telling her whatever she wanted to know. But even so, this was an absolute delight to read, heavy without taking itself too seriously, full of twists, and just such a fun world and cast to spend time with. I wanted it never to end, so I'm rounding my rating up for now!
