This book was a masterclass of balance. Part unflinching in it's portrayal of the violence wrought on trans women, as well as trans men and others whose bodies don't fit societal expectations. Part grimey zombie apocalypse horror. Part warning message about how hate groups such as terfs are only one inch away from violence, they are just waiting for their opening. Part erotica and part excellent sense of humor. The characters are real and complicated. It's got some dark subject matter yet the author can still make the book fun
