DNF. Harmful representation of mental illness and the trans community. Additionally, poor world building and inconsistencies in the story/writing.

Lots of typos throughout this book. The editor didn’t do a very good job, unfortunately, which was distracting.

The book itself was good, despite the tropes being overdone. Also- definite transphobia on the author’s part. A trans character rapes her son… can we stop the “crossdressing man that is a rapist” trope for trans women? It’s disgusting.
