I won’t give this book a thorough review, I have too many things to say about it. But if you want a thorough review, please read one written by a trans person.
I’ll just say that this book is written in a very not trans friendly, actually rather transphobic way, and it just goes to proof that cis authors shouldn’t write books about trans people without being VERY sure about what they’re doing. It’s so sad that some people will read this book and think that this is the actual experience of trans people, and think that this is the way you should treat and view trans people as well. Please educate yourselves, and don’t take a single cis person’s (or multiple) word about trans people for good. And if you want to try and read books with trans characters, i recommend reading those written by trans authors
