I found this book to be extremely moving; it is such a shame that it seems to be out of print. As a lesbian who struggled with coming out, it was comforting to know that there was someone else on this earth who endured similar struggles to my own, even if mine pale in comparison. I especially appreciated the ending. Without spoiling it, I will say that it is very fitting for the novel itself and will leave the reader feeling as though the novel has achieved a perfect sense of closure. Anyone who wishes to understand what it means not only to be a butch lesbian but marginalized in any capacity should read this novel. I would say that this work is a must-read.

Important!
This text is amazing. As stated on Transgender Warriors "this is the history book for the rest of us". Refreashing and important to have a text that records the realistic lives of those who don't fit into hetronoramtive gender categories.

Moving and Powerful
This book is a great read for anyone who has GLBT issues, or whoever has questioned their sexuality or gender in their lives. Feinberg is excellent at drawing upon her own experiences to portray a character who is very real. The narrator's voice is brutally honest and authentic. Some of the scenes in this book are a bit squeamish, in the sense that the violence portrayed against the main character is rough and explicit. I found this book to be similar to "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb in the sense that the character is one that I pity, not one that I feel changes for the better. I appreciate Feinberg's end goal in that life is complicated and not always sunshine and roses, and that the character remains a strong figure in my mind. I suppose that it has affected me to the point where the book succeeds: I continue thinking about the character, wishing for more.
