Well, it sounds like I would either like the book for its world, which I have heard great things about, or like it for HULK SMASH! A main issue I come across is a lot of UF books simply bore me, which I think is due to having very similar patterns.

The hiding the person's gender because you'll get fired thing just makes sense. Funnily enough, I did something similar in high school so that my girlfriend's mum didn't realise I was female bodied. What was hilarious was the mother told her daughter to break up with her current boyfriend and date me instead. XD
