We had some mixed reviews for this one; Alex loved it and Sam thought it was okay. But that led to some interesting discussions on what worked/what didn't for us individually, where we would have liked more or less information, internalized standards of beauty, and how people always view 'villains' as ugly/weird/fat/disfigured, where we think book 2 will go, and more.

It speaks on womanhood, what it means to be a mother/parent, creating nontraditional families, and queer culture. There is a true beauty in reading books that don't try to apologize or hide what they are and who they are for - and Detransition, Baby does not hide its messy, its realness, its queerness...
