viola

Genuine question, did this uhhh say anything??

Regardless, for part one: All trans lit is Nevada #21: Nevada but it's the egg running away from herself and seeking out things in others that they cannot be for her

Also one of at least three trans lit books since 2023 to have a time skip from the 90s to the 2010s (this, Cuckoo, A/S/L). New trope??

all trans lit is nevada #92: nevada but he doesn't really want to be there

jeanne thornton read each of the main characters in a way that called to mind trans women i knew. this book is so invested in who we are and can become in this world so full of threat and instability. instant classic of trans fiction.

every trans lit book is nevada #37: summer fun is nevada but with the past

hilarious to read alongside pedagogy of the oppressed. a perfect "how not to" guide

a beautiful fantasia of oversymbolization and queer mysticism

didn't quite stick the landing (perhaps unintended implication: you can't trust anyone... unless you've done k or molly with them), and the opening and part 1 were overall far more effective than part 2, but still some great themes and engagement with what it means to live a queer life throughout
