It is hard for me to write a review of this book. In some ways, I loved it and thought that it would make one of the few five star ratings for me this year, and in other ways I was deeply troubled by it.
I so wish that the author would’ve stayed away from attempting to provide perspectives on transgender issues, because the outcome is very problematic. I understand why it is there, I just wished that it would’ve been dealt with differently.
There are also elements of fat phobia that I really could’ve lived without.
However, the tone of the writing is just fantastic. I love Mary Shelley’s POV and the perspectives that she provide that really adds depth to the events taking place in Ry’s POV. It really adds layer and aspects that I just found delightful.
All in all, this is an interesting novel and with proper TWs in place, I do recommend reading it.
