I have given this book one out of five stars ⭐️
Firstly, I think this book is important for what it stands for and I think we need more trans stories to be heard especially when it comes to the difficult and harrowing parts being trans and dealing with transphobia.
Sadly, this book didn’t do it for me. I had quite a few problems with the writing (both dialogue and writing style). It didn’t flow at the best of times and I found it chopped and changed so much that I found myself getting confused with what I was reading.
