I thought it was really interesting and a quick and easy read. The content was compelling and I liked the story structure. I got a little lost at the end, though and didn’t necessarily understand why it ended the way it did. However, I really liked it.

I am furious about this book. I loved the writing and found myself thinking deeply the whole way through. And then the whole book ends with a terrible 30 page bullshit transphobic ending. It’s incredibly insulting and disgusting. Wow.
