gnatsnotes 's review for:

The Pervert by Remy Boydell, Michelle Perez
4.25
emotional reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: N/A
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

a surprisingly tender story about the experiences of a transgender sex worker in seattle. 

i thought this was a very lovely, if not heavy, story. i wasn’t really sure what i was expecting going in, but this ended up being a touching narrative of resilience and emotional strength. 

it was fascinating to follow the main character and learn about her life - i thought this book gave an interesting glimpse into the circumstances and experiences of sex workers, and was especially insightful on its exploration of the industry as a trans person. 

boydell’s artwork was beautiful; i loved the watercolour style. all of the panels were illustrated with such care. 

truly a unique book - it’s a little out of the realm of what i typically engage with, but this is a very important story and i’m glad i picked it up.
