5.0

I originally picked up this book because friends told me it was funny, but it's much more intense than I anticipated in all powerful ways. The novel focuses on queerness, parenting, and the complexity of relationships. I loved the way Peters expands the meaning of family outside of the heteronormative structures and the way it allows for the true depth of the lives of trans women.
