did quite enjoy this book but not giving it a ranking as i recognise there were a lot of harmful tropes/representations

i think the book did do a good job of addressing complex issues though - family (and the mum being viewed as the villain), class, friendship. the portrayals of transness weren't totally awful but i do wish it had been done better, especially given it is the central theme of the book
