An interesting read. It was nice to see the chapter where Mona ponders over ending a relationship due to transphobia. Maupin has grown since the first book, and is better at writing other minorities that are not just white gay men. I enjoyed having Mona back; this book was a bit slower than his early novels. 
I know

Michael and Wilfred's

relationship was legal in the book, but did you have to add that

Michael

had liked him since [the younger one] was 16? Was that really needed? (for those unaware, two characters met 10 years before this book, when one was 16 and the other was in his 30s. While the younger one very obviously liked the elder, the elder did not do anything. However, Maupin made it canonical in this book that the elder had been attracted to the 16-year-old. AN interesting choice.)
