If you're coming to this from the TV show, be aware that the tone is VERY different - much darker and grittier than the show.

I was given this book as a gift by someone I was dogsitting for, and at first I was really worried it was about to delve deep in to early-2000s transphobia, but luckily it did not and I wound up really having fun with the book. I've seen a few episodes of the show based on this series, but had no idea it was a book long before it was a show. This wound up being a fun read (and honestly will offer a good counter to my James Patterson habit haha). I'm really excited to read more from the series.
