• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Loveable characters? No

 a short whirlwind of a book about a man who gets turned into a woman by a feminist cult and then has to go through a lot of the ordeals that women often suffer through (big tw for rape and abuse). this was definitely a ride. the first half was pretty good and i was ready to give it 3 or 4 stars but then it got transphobic as hell and now i don't know what to think. the way she uses poc in this story is also pretty sus.
