The perspective of being a trans nonbinary parent and the story of how they had to adopt their own children was super enlightening, though.

There were times I struggled a bit with the prose, it felt a bit fragmented, jumpy and fast, with very short sentences or with sentences lacking punctuation. I don't think that I personally get on well with this kind of writing style, sometimes I struggled to follow the structure of the sentence.
At times, I also felt that the story telling was a bit disjointed and there were many segments expanding on related topics that, nevertheless, I found a bit boring and that took me out of the main narration. For example, there were digressions on the ultrasound technology, on other scientific or medical topics that I did not expected and just did not care much for.
I'm still glad to have read the book as I'm always keen to read more about queerness in all its forms. I just struggled a bit to get thorugh the book and did not get out of it as much as I was expecting.
