This is such an incredible and important story. There were parts of the characters I'd like to have seen more fleshed out, but ultimately I think it all worked. But the themes, the point of this book was incredible. I would end up writing an essay if I started going into it all. But if you are interested in activism in any way, you need to read Leslie Feinberg. This embodies a lot of what ze said in some of their nonfiction about solidarity -- within the LGBT movement and outside of it. It discusses nuances of identity and nuances of connection. So many excellent things happening.
