what an awful little book with especially horrid views on butch lesbians
flat characters. insta-love. very narrow idea of transness and trans bodies. seems to have some real beef with butches and believes them to all be closeted trans men. every character speaks in the same way. embarrassingly overwritten. all the "good" characters praise the MC up and down for some reason even as he himself talks at length about how awful he is. so much fandom BS that adds nothing to the story even when taken as the metaphor it's meant to be. has waaaaaay too many metaphors as it is and looooves to spend a ton of time discussing them.
just terrible. i had really been looking forward to this book and ended up feeling incredibly insulted and hurt by the contents of it.
