A review by moonyreadsbystarlight
The Pervert by Remy Boydell, Michelle Perez

challenging dark emotional medium-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

It’s hard to know what exactly to think about this book  (hence why I chose not to give a star rating). It tells the story of a trans sex worker and it details her complicated relationship with it and with the people around her. The way the story is told is more of a series of scenes and they are almost too disconnected. There was a bit with time that was sort of hard to follow. I do think that I could see the disconnected and sort of confusing nature could be a stylistic choice (which definitely makes sense given the juxtaposition of dark themes and the choice in art work), but there were certain pieces of the plot and who people were that was missing and those missing details hindered the story to me. It was dark and intense. There is a lot of complicated feelings towards every character in the story. But it was just a bit too confusing to really get the whole picture.
