I read this book for the Trans Rights Readathon and was barreling through it for the first 2/3. Granted, my life got busy so it's hard to know if I fell out of pacing or if the story slowed down but I definitely enjoyed things a little less as it was ending.

Holy Body Horror tho! The creature and mutation sequences are excellent. I think I honestly wanted more monsters than I got, but I am not sad about the abundance of body horror description. 

I do want to warn people that the hinge romantic edge of this story includes an abuser. This book is targeting messy emotions so I get why this is included but anyone looking for the romance may be appalled by this.
