I definitely would not have picked up this book if not for a bookclub. I also would not be surprised if this ends up as a banned book in some Floridian county sometime soon.
Fun voice, character seems to swing all over the place real quick. Like every so often the book reminds you that it's only been a week, or a few months, and it always made the story feel more compressed chronologically. It's certainly got a message of self acceptance, so if that's your cup of tea and you're cool with some Jewish vocabulary and a fair bit of lesbian... activity... then full recommend.
