this book had a lot of potential, but it fell flat. there were too many characters to keep track of,
therefore, i did not really feel attached or connected to any of them. the flashbacks/current events were confusing and not clearly marked. it was hard to understand what was happening now, and what was in the past. the plot was also confusing and i thought there was too much dialogue. there was a lot of fluff and things that didn’t matter. yet, there were many plot holes and things that were never addressed. i didn’t understand the world that he was trying to create and found myself confused and lost though out the book. i felt like this book could’ve been longer, but also could’ve been more concise. it was just fine. 

the one positive i will say is this book is a good commentary on how women/femme presenting people are perceived in society and treated. women/femme presenting people are more likely to be the victims of violence from men and this book shows that.
