Louis & Louise by Julie Cohen

3.0

3.5 stars. I loved the premise of this book (we follow the character of Lou twice. In one strand Lou is Louise, a cisgender woman; in the other Lou is Louis, a cisgender man) and the first half of it, but I felt it became a bit repetitive, predictable and plodding towards the end. It's worth reading for its thoughts on gender, class, sexuality and portrayal of rural small-town life, but didn't quite live up to my expectations.
