This book I mainly loved for its complete uniqueness, I’ve never read a book like it. It is so gender explorative and exciting in the way it perceives me gender. I loved the descriptions of queer life in the 90’s. However, I found the writing difficult, and struggled to connect with any of the characters, though I do believe that’s the point it made me struggle to read.
