Whew, I almost gave up on this one. It seemed to go on and on about such an exclusionary and specific type of ‘feminism’ and queerness. However, at about the half way point, it finally changed tack and began to engage in a less performative exploration of what feminism and queerness mean to different people. By the end of the book I was filled with warm feelings for Juliet’s journey. Recommended!
