fascinating account of what it's like to experience life as a Travesti in Salvador, Brazil. I came away with so many thoughts about our constructions of gender and sex.

okay i cried

absolutely lovely! I wasn't sure how i was feeling about this, but the end was SO clean emotionally, it really really got to me. it's a quiet story but in the best way possible. i do feel like i got an intimate portrait of both these girls and how much they changed over the course of a few weeks/a month. it was beautiful and strange and took its concepts with pride.

gag city bitch! best of the series. kind of gets a little loopy towards the finale but I do think it works since katniss is so entirely uninformed.

finally finally finished after months. please god get me out of this reading slump. this is lovely and cute and so wonderladian i could cry. oh how I adore stories of scrappy children in trouble.
