Setting: new York
Rep: fat Jewish lesbian protagonist; queer/trans Jewish protagonist; multiple queer and POC side characters
This has been sitting on my Netgalley shelf for more than a year and I am glad I finally got round to it as it's a great book! A very slow read, heavy on the characters and light on plot, but I did feel invested in their lives and relationships and mishaps.
