Exceptionally well-written, until the ending where it felt like the brakes were slammed; it faltered then just kind of stopped, and not in a satisfyingly unsatisfying way. Still, I liked it a lot.

I gave Detransition, Baby a 3 star rating mainly because of the amount of sex. Other people I know who have read this have rated it 5 stars and I do agree with their ratings. For me the sex really took away from some of the messaging I wanted to gain from the story. Would I recommend this book? Absolutely. Would I put trigger warnings for abuse and sexual content? Absolutely.
Favorite Parts:
The developing relationship between Katrina and Reese is just so heartwarming! The scene at the baby regristy where Katrina goes along with the employee believing Reese is the one pregnant just warms my heart. - Explorations of womanhood, motherhood, and parenthood.
- The flashbacks between the past and present.
Enjoyment: 3/5
Plot: 4/5
Characters: 4.5/5
Thought Provoking: 5/5
Ease of Reading: 5/5
Ending: 4/.5
