Gosh, does the punctuation throughout bother me. This story is the first one with quotation marks, and even then they were seldom used.

The story itself was strong. I get this one completely. The narrator here is very me-coded, in the sense that she's a scared desperate pushover

3rd story: Waow. (But also there's quite a bit to chew on here, especially in the first half. The sex bit was killer tho)

2nd story was funny really. I don't have much commentary on it, I just thought it was pretty funny, poked at a lot of early anxieties and shit.

Cool 1st story about Sophie's relationship with her past, esp her mom and Megan.

The strained relationship between her, her mom and especially the rest of her family is well executed in its non-hostility, it's passivity—far more common than rabid attacks.

The Megan sex scene showed Megan's cis-normative approach to sex, making Megan feel like she's not good enough, and Sophie incredibly dysphoric. It's saddening

The afterword was good. I understood that almost exactly from the beginning, but I like that she was explicit about it. The author wanted her to be as "girl" as possible—as normatively trans as possible.

That way, the bulk of the story doesn't have to be about being trans, but one specific trans girl's excitement at a fresh start at a new school, and the joy she experiences after finally feeling normal. That's great

jfc, escalated like a mf. I mean, I guess I was kinda waiting for the hat to drop the whole book, but I thought it was gonna be more lighthearted and shit. damn.

yo, fuck Bee, tf. Girl got rejected once, gtfoh

Okay, okay, it's fun; I admit it. I still stand by it being mostly just sweet and typical, but I'm actually a sucker for typicality.

I think it's fun to see a trans girl in a book, mostly just be a girl. Without everything having to tie back to her transness—that gets fucking annoying.

So far, she's mostly just a highschooler living through a nice highschool experience

So this has crossed into wish-fulfillment territory for me. That's not entirely bad, some bits make me a little giddy. I think I'm a fan of YA novels, because I'm a 20 year old 14 year old girl, and have no taste. Amanda's funny to me, cause she's supposed to be kinda nerdy and apparently that means star wars and daft punk.

Shaping up to be a short read. I'm wishy washy on it right now, trying to feel out how it'll go.

I do find it crazy that this girl is in highschool, discovered she was trans 3 years ago, and *seems* to have gotten srs already. The timeline on that is shocking, I mean it is fiction, I get it, just being done is cool.

Also I do find the neurotically anxious, excuse my 4tran, gigapassoid a very funny archetype

I pity Anne at the moment, she seems very reserved. Like she tries to take up as little space as possible. I thought she was just kind earlier, but I'm coming around to the idea that she's actually rather lonely and wants to be as obliging as possible

Obviously, Anne and Wentworth are set up to be together by the end—they'll be the romance. These first 4 chapters have felt like a lot of setup though

Walter's set up to be a huge douche.

I'm curious to see more of Anne, I feel like I haven't heard very much about or from her yet

Bro, fuck Walter, tf? Vain ass loser, you know he was mid too, twink-death ass mf

Wonder if the patient she couldn't see matters

"She'd never be little, she'd never be fish" it truly has been a Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi...

Nah, but fr, I really liked this chapter. A good 5% of my enjoyment of this book is just reading some shit and going "truuueee, spill it"

Jeez

I'm assuming Anna's just mistaken. No way the book reneges on its grandpa promise. I still don't know how Wendy could possibly really find out much more about her opa though—like what, she's gonna find a diary? clothes? what? best not be hacky
