I want to like this book a lot, mostly because my friend wanted me to read it. I did, but sometimes the characters hurt so much. There’s good commentary in intersectionality in trans feminism and it talks about all the things that happen to trans women in Canada and North America, but I wasn’t prepared for the amount of pain that was in this book. I liked it, but I would get so annoyed at characters like Iris and how the main character in that story refused to leave her or chose to be friends when Iris had been a rapist. 
Anyway, this was pretty good.
