Disclaimer, I am a bit skeptical about the sudden proliferation of new genders after humankind has managed to do with two throughout recorded history.
However this conviction of mine is not in stone and I might be interested to read about a non-binary person to open up my horizon. In order for such a book to be interesting for me it should be able to explain/convey to me what being non-binary is actually all about. Just throwing around a lot they/their or other non-standard pronouns around will not teach me (or others like me) anything about being non-binary. Also the use of they/them to refer to a singular person might already be commonplace for woke US-millennials, for a lot of other people it will be highly confusing.
Maybe this book of yours should be a book without personal pronouns. I am sure this could be done, after all someone managed to write a book without the letter 'e' as well.
