I appreciated the gender diversity of this books and the spectrum of masc/butch identities. I don’t think this book was for me. I found the main character insufferable, although I think that might have been the point. And I found the sex scenes incredibly off putting and gratuitous.

Sasha is the kind of girl you would feud with on Tumblr and know, deep in your heart, that she's the most annoying person in the world, but ultimately you'd find solace in the fact that she knows it too.
I hated this, then loved it, then GOT it, then Hated it, then really, really hated it.
I think art should be uncomfortable and intense and slimy and weird, and this took that idea and RAN with it.
If you don't care about plot, character development, or naturalistic dialogue, go for it. This book exists in the heightened mind of one intensely solipsistic character who thinks in advanced Sociology of Gender terminology, so fair warning if you're going to be triggered by tumblr/twitter/tiktok chronically online therapy-speak.
