Using a skeletal writing style, Bethany Ebert writes of love, loss, and regret. Topics such as romantic woe are prevalent, but this book is far from shallow. Ebert's writing criticizes third-wave feminism and its problematic ties to capitalism. It also discusses her de-transition (from FTM transsexual to cisgender woman, as well as from butch to femme). Competition, grief, and self-righteousness are also running themes.
