Skin by Kerry Andrew
DID NOT FINISH: 59%

I stopped listening to this because I've read too much LGBT trauma recently, and did not want to have to read through the aftermath of an attempted sexual assault.   
 
I feel like the writing was really vague while discussing gender and sexuality topics. It was hard for me to get a grasp on the author's points, even though these seem to be the main premise of the book.
 
I'm not sure how I feel about Matty being trans (I assume, nothing has been properly discussed yet, maybe non-binary, or FTM?) being used as a shock twist. It felt a little ingenuine, especially coming from a (as far as I can tell) cis-author.

 
In terms of the audiobook itself - in the first section of the book it was really difficult to tell when certain scenes ended because there was ZERO pause between paragraphs. It got really confusing at times.
 
Maybe I'll come back to this at some point. But all I really want are non-trauma-based books about the LGBT community, written by the LGBT community.
