This is a short little read, but definitely fun! The characters are fun, the settings are, of course, interesting, and it's got gender!
That said, the promised anti-capitalism of the book comes off as a little capitalist-realismy, and the gender stuff is a little superficial (although some people like that!). Personally, I didn't deeply connect with the character's relationship or personal arcs either.
That said, I don't regret reading it. Because it's so short, it works super well as a great little pocket-sized adventure that's still fun and good to read!

Review of Detransition, Baby
5 stars
When I started to read this book, I didn't really relate to any of the characters. Actually, I kinda hated a lot of them. By the time I was half way through, though, I was practically sobbing about their silly relationships. This book does an incredible job exploring the intricacies of motherhood, race, gender, and the intersection of all of these things through its flawed but lovable cast.
It'll fuck you up along the way though <3
