A fucking masterpiece!! Reese is such a hilarious, iconic main character, and all three MCs provide a wonderfully messy, complicated, and layered exploration of what gender and motherhood mean to them. The writing is snappy and the characters' voices are very distinctive; Reese's chapters always offer a good laugh after reading about Ames's gender woes.
