This book is an absolute masterpiece. These characters and all they face will live on in my head for years to come. Torrey Peters has achieved a rare balance of poetic, descriptive writing while being grounded and accessible. 

I’ve learned so much from this book and have much to reflect on about women in the broadest definition of the word and what it means to live as a woman - especially trans - in this moment in time.
