5.0

I was really struck by how often the interactions between the Dorley girls seem like a really healthy t4t bond. Even though they are not trans in the traditional sense they go through a lot of the same experiences and I found the optimism in their interactions with each other to be really nice. This book is extremely funny and kind to its characters but it also shows ways in which they fall short and asks for them to do better. I also really liked the pacing and depth of this book, like it covers an almost shockingly small amount of time given the premise of the book but I really appreciated getting to spend that much time with the characters in specific and intimate scenes.
