Thought this book would be impossible to read with its constant jumping of narratives, voices and prose-style. And yet I devoured it in just a few days. Published in 1998, it felt desperately timely and urgently important.

I'm pretty sure this book changed something in my DNA. Dark and deliberate and yet also ambiguous and both alarming and alluring. I also think it will take a while for my stomach to settle too. Please go gently reading it, but read it you must.

Everybody should read this to see the soul of a trans femme, yes, but to also have a glimpse at their own.
Also the chapter addressed to "My Boyfriend Jesus Christ" is one of the best things I've read all year and had me howling with laughter.
