I loved this book! While the description might make make the plot seem niche or confusingly complex, the writing is so precise and perceptive, and each of the three main characters so vividly imagined, that a novel that seems to have very specific resonances quickly engaged me and told me a lot about myself (as a straight white cis woman) and the world I live in. Torrey Peters offers a huge number of insights into many aspects of modern womanhood, and she does it entertainingly and respectfully: each of the three leading characters are flawed - sometimes hugely so - but we are never invited to judge, laugh at or dislike them. Instead, everyone is taken seriously and we are invited to see society through their eyes, to walk in their shoes. This book is dedicated to divorced women, and the author draws parallels with the predicament of the trans woman and the divorcee - both have had to rethink their pasts and work towards a better future, with all the challenges these things involve.
