A good read for queer folks and their friends and family. At times painful, but mostly funny.
I laugh-cried through some chapters. (:

This is the second book I've read by Ivan and I now want to read all of their work.

I didn't find it as soothing or as hopeful as "Care Of" but it was still a very good read. This is almost a short story collection; each chapter follows a different story and point in time. Some are written like letters, others are songs and of course some are stories. They talk about being trans, family, rape, washroom debates and so much more.

I'm excited to read more of their work and hopefully one day I can see them live!
