This book would undoubtedly have 5 stars if it weren't for the absolutely unnecessary transphobia. It was written in 2012 what would you leave that in for? And how did it still get a Stonewall Book Award?That said this is my second time reading it and I still adore this book and I will probably reread it in the near future!
