So dry and mundane it made me compulsively read/kept me hopeful?? Selin is so real

Lowered my rating from 4 to 3 stars I just feel aggressively neutral about it

Literally nothing happened?? we knew what the "reveal" was the whole time did we not??

5 stars for historical content, what we can learn from this text, and the last like 50 pages
Really special to read Lou's diaries but obviously the content is super detailed recounts of his experiences, often explicit sex/random things that happened during the day which can be... lethargic/mundane to read, I'm not that squeamish when it comes to reading about sex but I always felt like "am I meant to be reading this??"
Really appreciate this texts as primary sources into the transsexual experience and would recommend to anyone, especially other transmasculine people :)

3.5 ⭐ phenomenal writing just wasn't super engaged with the story... entering my Toni Morrison autumn
