A review by griffonage
All the White Spaces by Ally Wilkes

4.0

I’d rate All the White Spaces at a 5/5 if you are reading it for the trans narrative. I was surprised by this and, in fact, put off reading it for over a month because I don’t have positive experiences of reading trans fiction written by cis-presenting authors. I was fortunately surprised by how genuine and well done it was.

That being said, if you are reading this novel for the horror story, I’d give it a 3/5. The antagonistic force seems random and inconsistent (at least as a horror monster— it makes significantly more sense to me as a transgender allegory) & the resolution feels a bit l forced.

All in all, as much I avoid buying books, I’ll have to buy a copy if only to write in all the margins and do a proper review.
