I really enjoyed this memoir. I think Maia did a wonderful job walking us (the reader) through eir experience in finding eir identity and what felt comfortable for em. This is such an important story and I feel like everyone should take the time to read stories like Maia’s to help comprehend that being yourself is so important, but can be a tough journey to go on and can definitely be easier said than done. I would definitely read more of Maia’s work in the future!

I really enjoyed this comic/graphic novel about being genderqueer. There’s not much representation out there and I feel that through this memoir it was a great starting point for anyone wanting to learn or those of us trying to figure out ourselves still.
I mostly loved the raw truth shown in this book; the reality of how hard it is to come out or the struggles of identity and not having representation. It also showed some really beautiful heart warming scenes.
Totally recommend!

With genuine heart, upfront empathy, and a mind that breezily lends itself to education, this colorful memoir does so much to explain one person's journey through gender issues in order to a discover and build an identity that feels like home. It also carries with it an endearing and bouncy eagerness to offer insight to others who may be curious about these realms, whether they're at the outset of a similar journey or simply interested in better, more informed allyship. It's fun, lovely, true, and welcoming, all while documenting one of the most challenging things a person can explore — who they are in a society that tends to offer narrow paths. Altogether, this autobiography's strength is surely its emotional depth that richly ties with its straightforward style, making for a read that moves you along like a textbook-adjacent summary while cheerfully supplying you with answers before you even have questions. It's as if your friend's narrating one of life's deepest complexities after you asked them to break it down in its most simplest terms.
