Comfort Me with Apples by Catherynne M. Valente

A Trans Man Walks Into a Gay Bar by Harry Nicholas
Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.

The writing of this really makes me feel like I'm reading bad YA and there are sections which feel exactly like what I've just read but just paraphrased slightly. The intro also makes it sound like trans men are the audience but it spends so much time explaining extremely basic ideas that this really doesn't feel true.

The Signal Line by Brendan Colley

medium-paced

It tries to be quirky and poignant and doesn't really acheive either. the conclusion also doesn't make any sense and feels just pasted on for a tidy ending without doing the work for it to make sense
