I'm not sure what to rate this. I cant find anything glaringly wrong with the book because everything seemed intentional. The characters are intentionally messy people, Reese is intentionally self sabotage-y, the ending is intentionally vague. I'm glad to have read it.....God I have no idea if I'd want to own it. Everything is just so messy. It's a great look into the world of trans feminine culture, especially in New York, but its a painful read at times.
