This was an amazing book. I thought I'd reviewed it months ago when I'd finished it, but I suppose I didn't! First things, first: this is a violent book. There's animal abuse, rape, attempted rape, and more. So readers beware--but that being said, those perpetrating the violence get what's coming to them. 

I feel horrible that I've forgotten to review this one, because there is so much about it that I enjoy: the cross-dressing, the forged friendship, the coffee tasting, the self-confidence. This book reads like an action movie and it's definitely a movie you'd want to go see!
