Diverse cast of characters:

Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
Easy to read and easy to get attached to the protagonist (despite them being a very flawed person). Aside from the casual putting down of butches, I definitely recommend it. Provides a lot of reflection on heteronormativity, gender, and the way people can get trapped into roles and relationships that they don’t really want. Really good book.
Graphic: Homophobia, Racial slurs, Lesbophobia
Moderate: Misogyny, Racism
Minor: Incest, Rape
