A rather graphic yet revealing tell of the struggle of non-conformest Bi, trans and Lesbian women in mid 20th century America. The kids loved it. The wife got mad. The husband laughed. Guess who's doing the review... 😄

I had never judge it's book by its cover until I saw this book. I was like nah every time my kids picked up the book for me to read as a bed time story. We been having it for 2 years now. It was given to one of my kids at school. But finally last night I read it. Omg it is an excellent book and very funny I actually loved the book. So parents give it a try. Puck up the book and read it. You will change your mind .
