I considered giving 4.5 but no, it deserves the 5. This book became relatable in a way the author could never have fully anticipated immediately on its release. I just wish there had been more focus on the LGBTQ community than there was - particularly trans women. But they did feature, thank goodness.

It is unimaginable that this book was mostly written before the Coronavirus pandemic that we're living in as I write this. The first few chapters were difficult to read, but I'm so glad I persisted. This was a great book!
