Hard to read, but presents a realistic view of public opinions towards trans people in 1990s Britain.
Huge trigger warning for trans phobia.

I personally wouldn't have chosen to read this book if I didn't have to for uni. But in a way, I'm glad I did. I did enjoy the book. I think it was really well written. Certain aspects made me mad (this was intentional) and could be quite triggering for some, but I found the overall story quite beautiful.
