Customer Reviews

Transphobic, includes rape

This book is awful for multiple reasons. It calls transmen pre t lesbians multiple times, and the main character goes as far as pretending to be a pre t trans man to get with a lesbian he likes. He rapes her in the book (which is disregarded) and lies, and this is an awful message for LGBT people or any readers. It spreads false information, and pins a bad rep on trans people. Do NOT buy this book nor see the movie
