2.0

I’ve read this more than once because it’s some of the only representation of queer people I could find. I tend to block out how Molly does commit sexual assault twice on people and the hell with it attitude on butch and femme culture and saying all lesbians are ugly isn’t great either. I think I liked her writing because it’s quick and the story was one of the only books I could find but it’s far from perfect. 

She gets two pages where she’s mostly happy with a girlfriend and that’s it.
