4.5

This book was absolutely wow. I like going into my books with little to no background knowledge and this book was a journey like non other. I felt deeply for Lily and her past.

Her story was absolutely heartbreaking and really spoke heavily on the multiple issues those within the Trans community have to continuously face at the hands of bigotry.

Check those trigger warnings.
