I decided to read this for the #TransReadAthon as the main protagonist is a transgendered woman. It follows the story of Trina, who lives in a world that has been invaded by The Seep. Trina has a hard time accepting the surrealism of this new life, and this book follows her journey through grief, addiction, anger, and alienation. It is bizarre, but metaphorical represents the way in which humans try to erase the bad emotions, forget about them, and only live in euphoria. It's a really quick read, but it will really move you in a strange yet satisfying way.
