Description
Embouchure is at turns self-deprecatory and self-revelatory as it trumpets about the speaker's closeted crushes on women and her eventual embrace of queerness. The book's disarming joy is cut with challenges to toxic masculinity, making this mock-confessionalism brassy as it is vulnerable.
