This was a really wonderful collection. I liked that some of it was from Aphrodite's perspective and some was from the author. It has a lot of important things to say about self-worth, sexism, and queer identity. This will definitely be a collection that I will revisit.

This was incredible! It started off as funny and light-hearted, but as the story progressed, it was clear how much depth there was.

This is such an incredible and important story. There were parts of the characters I'd like to have seen more fleshed out, but ultimately I think it all worked. But the themes, the point of this book was incredible. I would end up writing an essay if I started going into it all. But if you are interested in activism in any way, you need to read Leslie Feinberg. This embodies a lot of what ze said in some of their nonfiction about solidarity -- within the LGBT movement and outside of it. It discusses nuances of identity and nuances of connection. So many excellent things happening.
