I did enjoy this book however, I felt like there were moments where I just wanted to stop and put it down. It felt like it plodded along at a slower pace than I enjoy reading. I found it insightful about queerness and gender and gender identify and expression yet felt it fell flat on addressing my the intersectionality of race, queerness, and gender.
