Second time reading this. Still confusing, but i feel like I'm JUST on this side of grasping everything (that’s a lie, I know nothing). I love it, I hate it, everyone please read this book.

A genre-defying novel full of memorably surreal occurrences. It was a wild reading experience, with moments of terror and laugh-out-loud funny satire that made our own reality scarier and more stark, but not entirely hopeless. In the end, I’m not sure what else to say beyond praising its existence.

This was a wild book to read. It took me a long time to get through it because I could only read a few pages at a time. I am going to be thinking about this one for awhile.

I liked this as a weird read, and I believe the author did what they set out to do. A few elements didn’t quite work for me, and I think a bit more structure would have made me more at ease (and that would probably go against the author’s intent).

This book is best summed up by a passage within it
On July 23, the white trans writer sent the finished draft of the book to their thesis advisor, and on August 2, the white trans writer got an email from her that said that she didn't think the book worked. There was too much going on [...]
There were too many storylines, each of them not explored enough, too many timelines to make for a cohesive narrative
