I loved the way it was written and the careful way it offered observations about womanhood but I wish there had been more of a storyline. I wanted to know more about the main character's sister and her life. There was a page where the author discusses seeing a transperson in the bathhouse. I was mildly uncomfortable because it felt slightly transphobic.
