This book was a beautiful story about trans acceptance, it was such great queer and latinx representation. I finished this book in two days, I couldn’t put it down, it was heartwarming and funny and sad and so wonderful. I would absolutely recommend reading this book!

You can tell this book was written by a trans author, the main characters identity was handled so well, this is the most I’ve related to a trans character before, and it really adds to the quality of the writing.

I really liked this book. The representation, the characters, the relationships, I learned a lot. But I found the story really predictable. But still a good book. I had a good time reading it and I cried so good

Genuinely such a good read. It was really comforting queer representation and that definitely made me happy. It’s a LITTLE slow at the very beginning but please don’t make the mistake of giving up on it!
