I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself

Thoughts while reading I Keep My Exoskeletons To Myself:

- Reading page 1: “Oh no, this is going to hurt, isn't it?” (Which is a dumb thing to worry about as I love all the books that hurt).
- I need to stop reading this right before bedtime, my emotions are all over the place.
- I'm tired of crying on my train rides.
- I really fucking love the narrative voice.
- Kris' thought patterns and the way she communicates with her people is... like looking into a mirror.
- There's so much heart in this.
- ... and Kris' dry humour.
- More than anything, this story is about dealing with the shame and guilt that follows being systematically alienated and diminished by society (and the resistance against it).
- It's a library loan and I don't want to return it...

I'm going to have to chase down more books like this, aren't I?
