This is an incredibly interesting short story collection showcasing a variety of trans women and their experiences. So far it is definitely my favorite book by Casey Plett.
The characters are complex, yet feel organic. They are flawed and hurting and messy and real. I've found myself enjoying every short story, but what I really adored was the fact that there was one bigger story that we kept coming back to in short stories throughout the book. This made the book feel a lot more cohesive and while I also enjoyed a lot of the stand alone short stories, I remember being incredibly excited and surprised the first time a character made a repeat appearance and I got to figure out what had changed in between stories. And most importantly besides this one repeated story the main characters were all different and unique, facing a variety of struggles and experiences and I really enjoyed that this book explored the messiness of small social circles and relationships.
I also like that some of the characters are flawed and act horribly at points, it made the story feel even more varied and interesting than if every character only had horrible things happen to them.
If you are looking for a short story collection exploring (some) experiences of trans women, filled with emotion and many interesting women, I can absolutely recommend you to check out this book.
