This is a second reading. The first one was quite rushed (though not as rushed as the 2 following books in the trilogy). This reading was quite as I remembered it from just about 3 years ago. Funny, fun, and heartwarming. [422 pp.]

Inappropriation
By Lexi Freiman
This book was pretty difficult for me to get into at first. Eventually I did, but it still seemed like the people described in it were so weird and were doing such horrible things, it was hard to identify with them most of the time. I don't know if it's a generational thing or what. Anyway, the main character, a coming-of-age girl whose physical coming-of-age is delayed, is very confused about which label to attach to herself. Obviously, she can't just be a cis-hetero-white person. That's not feminist enough. The two girls she sort of befriend are no help. The only bright spot in her life is the drag queen transgender woman and her Muslim sufi gay son. Oh, and the brother is pretty sane. In any case, shitty stuff bordering insanity is being done. [351 pp.]
