We need more trans voices, so I’m glad this book was made, but it was a weird one that I had trouble following. I think there two many things happening in the plot, and it was a lot to track. I do agree, however, that the works is tending to this bizarre future depicted in the book, and I was willing to go along with it all until the monsters came out. Then it lost my interest. Still, glad it was written because there were some important messages and themes in the book.

Brilliantly done story of a trans “final girl” against “the many-tentacled monster of gender and capitalism.” Absolutely devoured this book.
