A lighthearted spin on a memoir, though what I enjoyed most is the unexpected wave of nostalgia from the fact I grew up in St Helens at the same time as Lewis. Though, we called it Smellins, not St Hell.

I could recognize so many of the places: Such as every alternative kid going to Overload (the under 18s rock night at the Citadel) to get drunk, or knowing which exact street was being referenced.  I wonder if I ever crossed paths with him without knowing?

Good, but I wish there was a bit more on life post-transition. I appreciate this work and enjoyed that the story was mostly light despite being such a challenging time for the author. The artwork was interesting and helped to lighten the mood, but I found the text a little hard to comprehend at times (although I'm from Canada and am probably just not familiar with the slang used).

This funny, honest, self-compassionate, perfectly cringy, loving, empowering graphic memoir of growing up trans in suburban England in the 90s and early 00s is just such a gift. I loved how Lewis, as an all-grown-up transman, self-inserts, visits, accepts, and tries to help his younger self, Lois, and all the humor and honesty with which he depicts his teen years and his transition. So grateful this book exists!
