I hated the way it was written. Way too buys, with constant flashbacks and the points of view changed too quickly. It felt like a chore to finish a book that didn’t get mildly interested until 2/3 through.
I LOVE the concept, but not the execution.
Also: just because you are writing about a time in history that was a lot less sensitive to mental health and gender identity, doesn’t mean that you can write about these issues in a demeaning way.
