Great book. Really funny. 3.75 stars for me. It seemed to skim the surface in many areas. Granted it was only 330 pages. But I felt like there was many places it could have gone deeper. Overall I liked the book and identified with Queenie and liked the Jamaican patois sprinkled in.
I went back and forth on 3 and 4 stars. The writing was good and the story like worked, but there was something for me personally I couldn’t reconcile to put with all the other books I read this year. I really enjoyed it and I think it’s a necessary read for anyone who wants to gain more insight into gender nonconforming people.
For the sake of ratings I am rounding up to 4 stars.
I love amanda seales, I found her podcast small doses about a year ago and find myself looking forward to each episode being released. She is so incredibly intelligent, and articulate but real in humble, but will check you with the quickness in a way I have never seen from anyone else. She makes me laugh, think, act differently (better), and also be more compassionate. All of that comes through x1000 in her book.
This book is not a typical book, its best read in hardcover or ipad in color. Its filled with art, and emojis and formating. Its bites of stories most not lasting more than a page. So be prepared, but its well worth reading.

Quick easy read. Nothing spectacular but I enjoyed It nonetheless
Cute book. I laughed in places and it went buy quickly. Good filler
I loved this book in some places and questioned it in others. Maggie’s sorry spoke to me because I was in a very similar situation with a manager at my job when I was 16, perhaps I’m biased. Lina frustrated me and I didn’t understand her story line or wished there was more details.
