Wow I really loved this book. I thought the plot was really interesting and I constantly was oscillating between thinking Asher was guilty and thinking he wasn't, which kept me right there with Olivia. I also loved the bee imagery throughout -- so much so that it made me think I need to learn more about bees! All in all a really interesting and complex read that taught me a lot about transgender issues in a tasteful way.

I read this book without knowing anything about the content based on a TikTok review. I regret that I did not read the content warnings before hand.
