Thanks to Vintage Books for the free copy of this book.

Paul works at a gay club in the '90s, out and proud and dating extravagantly. Paul has a secret, though. He can change his body at will - not only changing his hair or his height, but also his sex.

I wanted to love this book so, so much. I am here for gender bending. I am here for intense film nerdery. I am here for grungy bar basements and music festivals and '90s nostalgia. But at a third of the way through the book with a plot barely visible, I had to give up.

I don't know if this changes by the end of the book, but there was not nearly the level of introspection about and playing with gender as I'd hoped. It was less "gender is a construct" and more "I have boobs now." And unfortunately, a series of sexual encounters doesn't make a plot, even if Paul's body was different each time. Also, several references to pee coming out of the vagina? Maybe I'll try this again someday and see it from another angle.
