Świetna dekonstrukcja współczesnej instytucji psychoterapii i jej wpływu na funkcjonowanie młodych (szczególnie) ludzi. Niesamowicie zabawna i niesamowicie smutna refleksja nad kobiecą homoseksualnością i systemowi przymusowej heteroseksualności, który trzyma w swoich ryzach kobiety, nie pozwalając im na otwarcie się na swoje homoseksualne pragnienia i jak w konsekwencji, dzieje się to dość późno w życiu kobiety, po wielu latach w hetero związkach. Bardzo, bardzo dobra książka.
