i love weird little books

"transgender people are not a burden to christianity." if you go into this book with a genuine and open mind, i think you'll learn a lot. i enjoy reading how trans christians, who are ostracized and demonized by the church, were able to find their own path with christianity. i think this is a beautiful book to show how God's love is not limited, but is available to everyone. i liked how scripture and science were used together to support the authors points/arguments. this is less of a defense argument and more of an informative piece of work which could be helpful for those going into it with an open mind. as someone trying to reconcile with faith and being under the lgbtq umbrella, this book gave me hope, comfort, and healing.

this did feel like a bit of a let down compared to last night at the telegraph club but it was still an enjoyable story!! i definitely want to read more from malinda lo.

SPOILER:


i did not like the cheating troupe used in this book. i wish a different method of exploring yourself was used.

malinda lo....when i catch you girl you're paying for my therapy

an devastating but hopeful outlook on grief, love, and what it means to have hope in the face of death. this one really got me at the end. i loved all the stories. the third one seemed very separated from the first two and i wish i got to read more of yuichi and mikage. 

i think this was a good debut! i wish there was less "telling" and more "showing" in the book. i feel like some of the important events were anticlimactic and luke's over-dominance was too much for me. i think that this author has really great potential and i'd like to read more from her in the future! 

very dense and info-heavy but an important read about the role of progressives and democrats in palestinian oppression
