- Sharp wit turns identity crises into comedy
- Unconventional family structures get brutally honest treatment
- No moral lectures—just messy human choices
- Flawed characters reinventing themselves mid-chaos
If Margo's hustling through OnlyFans and single motherhood hit your sweet spot, meet Reese, Ames, and Katrina—three people who've weaponized their identities for survival and now want to co-parent a baby. Peters delivers the same irreverent energy Thorpe brought to economic desperation, except here it's gender fluidity and queer desire getting skewered with surgical precision. No manifestos, no heroes—just people failing spectacularly at reinvention while cracking wise about it.
This is what happens when you strip away sanitized queer narratives and let messy humans negotiate parenthood, detransition, and heartbreak without a moral safety net. Peters trusts you to laugh at the chaos.
If you loved watching Margo commodify her body, you'll devour three people commodifying their identities for a shot at family.
What Readers Are Saying
"…It is chaotic, well-written, deeply, gorgeously queer, messy, sexy, and it probes really interesting questions about womanhood, motherhood, fatherhood, queer parenting, the relationships we make and break. The title is masterful." — Roxane, Goodreads
"Torrey has written right into all the hardest, least comfortable, often cruellest parts of the culture war over gender, and nobody comes out looking good. But she does it with such an unparalleled humour, honesty, and grace that one cannot fault her." — Morgan M. Page, Goodreads
"… The queerest conversations and situations that I've ever read. It's breathtaking and groundbreaking. I ate it up …" — Nikki, Goodreads
