Some of the internalized transphobia from the characters was a lot to handle, even if there isn't a better way to make the author's point than that. But some of the reminders of love were really poignant and I appreciated the ways that Indi's monologue played with the ideas coming from Beth and Fran and Ramona. I did enjoy some of the queer community cultural discourse, even if it felt a bit low-hanging. And the ways that sex and desire played into characters relationships and their own sense of self felt really raw and honest.
