What an intense read. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's not for the faint of heart. There's a lot of gore, religious trauma, transphobia, violence, and there's not a lot of moments where the characters are not going through something awful. This book is heavy. Extremely heavy. If you are not in a place where you can handle this well, I suggest skipping it. However, this book is necessary considering all the hell trans people go through on a daily basis. It is raw. It is angry. It is incredible.
The writing is blunt but it gets the point across. The characters feel real. And even though everything was rough, I did enjoy reading everything that happened within the story. There's a lot of religious rhetoric in this book so it may be a bit too much. But this is what this book is tackling so all of it is necessary. If you may be suffering from religious trauma or if you have so much anger in your heart, read this book. I believe it can give you the catharsis you may be looking for. Such an amazing read.
