“If you are a trans girl who knows many other trans girls, you go to church a lot, because church is where they hold the funerals.”

I really don’t know what I think of this book. On the one hand, I learnt a lot about the transgender community - something I knew very little about before - and that was really interesting and eye-opening to read. On the other, the plot didn’t really go anywhere. But I don’t think it’s supposed to be plot-driven… so I’ve mulled on it for a couple of days to see if I can come up with something more articulate than the above… which I haven’t. So yeah.
