I really loved this book and it got me out of a slump. The first half of the book whizzed by and really enjoyed learning about Maria’s character. I was slightly resistant when James was introduced as a focus but quickly adapted! 

The ending is very interesting and still not sure how I feel about it.

I enjoyed messy Maria. She has been living her truth for ten years and she still doesn't have it all figured out. So when she meets a young guy in Nevada who reminds her of herself before transitioning she wants to be an inspiration for him. I thought the message was on point, the book moved at a good interesting clip even with a lot of introspection. I enjoyed this.
The afterwards in the version I got from the library is the author reflecting years after the publication and I think it is a must read, she talks about the controversial ending of the novel and all of her inspiration for writing it, and she gives lots of credit to other writers and Trans people, it was very insightful.
