This is the second time I've read Girls 1. You can tell immediately when your read it that the author poured their heart and soul into the story, and it shows. The diversity is a breath of fresh air, the characters and the story, while dark, is woven and told with such care that my heart breaks. Lei is a brilliant character and her story, so very similar to some people's reality, is a reminder to live despite.

spaghettii's review against another edition

I genuinely hate this book so much. It was marketed for being lgbtq+ which was why I decided to check it out in the first place but that was definitely a mistake. The main character is basically forced to be a prostitute and there are themes of sexual assault and bestiality

I really wanted to love this book. It was recommended everywhere as an LGBT read, and I was sorely disappointed with borderline bestiality and sexual assault. Wtf

I got through this book, barely.  Queer content starts a third of the way through and is forbidden. It's forbidden because of misogyny and classism and not homophobia though so yay?
