I was addicted to this book, and yet I had to hold myself off from it to avoid letting it completely destroy me. Fabulous work

As a novel, there are some structural elements I struggle with when it comes to this book. It almost reads like a collection of short stories more than a comprehensive story. The dialogue is a little too academic to be believable and the characters were so caught up in theory and terminology that it felt forced.

But as a critical text, this book is phenomenal. Critical reading for, lie, anyone even remotely interested in being an ally to a queer person, or any queer person looking to know themselves better.
