butlerebecca's review against another edition

reflective tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

Idk about this one - not what I expected but had very poignant reflections on gender and performativity throughout
- Update a month after reading, I keep thinking about this so I'm upping in from 3.25 to 3.75, left some lasting thoughts about queerness and the performance of desire

Main character is insufferable and wish she was reflective about this sooner than the last 5% of the book

First time I read a book with a character that uses he/she pronouns interchangeably throughout - I want a book from baby Jesse’s perspective!!!

And Jules was totally Rachel Maddow, right?

Don't. Just save yourself the time and just go straight to therapy. 

It's like the writer took the most absurd things she could think of & threw them together in this grotesque mess of words. 


This is not being queer.  Please don't think that this is it. 

Also would love to call the RSPCA for that poor dug.
