I loved this book when I first read it as a youngster, re-read it recently and man is it poorly written. None of the femmes have personalities. I can't tell her girlfriends apart. Except for the transwoman, Peaches.

That said there are some very powerful scenes in there. Rape and violence aside... there's this one funeral scene where clothing choices become an issue.

Oh yeah the funeral scene is heartbreaking. That and when they visit the slightly older butch in the nursing home both made me cry.
