This book was an intense read! I didn’t go into it expecting there to be a lot of transphobia and homophobia as plot points, and that made it difficult to enjoy reading it. I thought it was going to be a cute, lighthearted read but it was not, and I wish it had been. I feel like there are plenty of books about trans people experienced violence, harassment and discrimination, and I wanted this book to be cute and fluffy, because we deserve happy trans stories too! Additionally the plot made little sense, there were constant issues that were quickly resolved, making them seem pointless to the book. Lastly the characters themselves were extremely unlikeable, rude, self centered and cruel.
