At one point in this book, Maria dreams about writing the next great American novel. To an extent, Binnie actualises this dream.

Nevada is one hell of a book depicting two separate yet entwined lives that eventually cross. It's an exploration of American society, relationship, queer spaces both online and off and, of course, transness and the plethora of ways that may manifest.  Above all, its about kinship and expectations that often are never met. 

It's radical, raw, and important, perhaps more than ever. 

Go into it blind, and even better, listen to it blind. The audiobook is phenomenal, read by Binnie herself, but please make sure your headphone connection is good because some sequences - including the 1st chapter - are not what you want your mam to hear. 

But, also, like real life, don't go expecting nice, neat resolutions or plot points. That's not what this book is about and it was never meant to be.
