Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A thoughtful, challenging book. Nuanced and well thought out deconstruction of a singular “womanhood.” At turns poignant and raw but also  funny and sad. It’s unlike anything I’ve read. It’s the kind of book that definitely was unapologetic and cis folks should approach with care because it’s not built for you.
