Praise for Casey Plett Plett's trademark skills at authentic characterization, evocative setting, and insight into the lives of trans women are on full display in this superb collection of short stories. The stories crackle with quiet complexity. -Autostraddle ( Best Queer Books of the Year ) Plett tells beautiful stories of trans women as they exist in the world: tangible, fallible, tender and hardened. -Xtra I've always admired Plett's ability to capture the tenderest and most complicated intimacies between characters. Exploring addiction, loss, consent, and shifting desires, each story in her extraordinary new collection is somehow even more tender and emotionally complex than the last. -Megan Milks, The Rumpus Plett has a characteristic style that manages to merge tenderness with Prairie toughness-a style on display in these stories of trans women seeking something-groundedness, maybe, but that dreamlike quality of desire, too. -Globe and Mail Both bittersweet and beautiful, Plett writes perfectly imperfect characters that make you feel less alone. -The Independent (UK)
