plumeriade 's review for:

What We Left Behind by Robin Talley
DID NOT FINISH

DNF at a little over 20%, skipped ahead and read the last 5% or so. you can take this review with a little bit of a grain of salt then, but i had to rate it.

SPOILER ALERT: THE LESBIAN SLEEPS WITH A (CIS) GUY. (what a betrayal to have this come from a lesbian author writing for TEENAGERS. honestly. gross.)

it may have come in the parts i didn't read, but there seems to be very little regard for any identity issues a lesbian character who starts off with having a girlfriend who then becomes gender-neutral genderqueer and then becomes a "he." also, the genderqueer character T steadfastly refuses to use pronouns (even after being told by other trans people that this hurts, apparently, though i didn't make it to that part) but is perfectly fine with labeling people "guy" or "girl" on first sight?
