I loved this book and I am excited to check out Torrey Peters' short stories (which are free on her website for anyone curious). I think that the reflections that this story provided on womanhood, motherhood, and queer identity are incredibly important. It was refreshing to hear about trans experiences from a more nuanced position while I also think that the fact that every character is in some way an outsider to particular experiences is incredibly interesting and important. This a book that will stick with me for a very long time and has put me on a Sex and the City craze.
