this was absolutely without a doubt the most insane, disgusting book i’ve ever read, and i was enjoying it pretty much the whole time. i haven’t ventured much into body horror, but i found the gruesomeness sort of captivating, especially because the two main characters felt like real, flawed people. some of the social commentary felt heavy handed, but much of it was done gracefully and it really made me think about the future of transphobia and also about kink/fetish. cannot think of anyone id ever recommend this book to, but im DYING to talk about it with someone. i found the ending to be unsatisfying, and i wanted to know more about frankie and vanya and their (our?) fucked up world.
