oh i like this book !! but its making me fear i lack the ability to keep an entire story in mind and digest it as a whole. right now, i think its a story about fitting an image that you create with an influence from your surroundings? and how who you are is never obvious to yourself or others because there’s always a facade happening ?

“when you understand that what you’re telling is just a story. It isnt happening anymore. when you realize the story is just words, when you can crumble it up and throw your past in the trash, then we can figure out who you’re going to be” yeah needed that. i was worried that this book would be transphobic but so far it is actually handling that theme well.

i cannot and will not lie … ryan ross did bring me here. but the novelty (ha) of that is kinda running out and im still into it. this way its written is enjoyable. very sarcastic and meta but not quite full of itself, not in a way that takes me out of the story. and my god does the beginning suck you in !
