Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters
Did not finish book.
This book started off very strong. After the first chapter (which is long), I was convinced this would be my next binge read and five star book. I really liked the author's writing style and I was curious to see how Reese and Amy/Ames would work out the pregnancy situation.
As soon as I got to the middle of the story, it dove deep into the history of Amy and Reese - how they met, what their relationship was like, what they were doing when they met - and the graphic sex was just a little too much for me. It was around this point that I started feeling like the author was overly detailed in her descriptions - almost like she was trying to prove her abilities.
I ended up skimming a lot of the book and it's unfortunate because I felt like this was an area of LBTBQ+ that hasn't been explored yet and I was interested too see Peters' take on it.
