This book was an absolutely wild ride from page one and it never slowed down. I am so glad my hold came through at the library because I’ve been wanting to read this for a while. I think, for how grotesque of a book this is, it was handled with so much love and care. It touches on religious trauma, found family, and self-identity and discovery. There were so many Bible verses sprinkled throughout, which I think added so much depth and nuance to the story. Even though I am not religious, I think that aspect of the story was so intriguing. The representation in this story was also amazing! I would have loved to dive even deeper into how the world got to where it was when the story started. Also, this book was really….descriptive, so please make sure to check the CWs.

Loved this book. If you're angry and trans you should read it. If you grew up christian and been traumatized by that you should read it. If you're both of those things, by golly, what are you doing just sitting there??? Get to reading this!! 👏👏
You owe it to yourself.

I knew the content warnings going in, but did not understand just how much of a focus the body horror, gore, and vomit were going to be. 

I tried to push through because this is a raw and powerful story, but ultimately I need to step back from it.

3.5

this one was a great read. in terms of structure, its not very plot heavy and focuses mainly on the main character's exploration of who he is and what he wants to be, and becoming himself in the precence of the people he loves. the depiction of autism and the variation of gender and expression was nice too.

the only reson i dont rate it a little higher is that something was missing for me personally character or story-wise. absolutely would recommend to teens / young adults who enjoy body horror and exploration of religious trauma. and those that just think it would be cool to be a beast as well.
