This is such a little gem of a book -- a trans/queer-centered meditation on sisterhood and caretaking. I didn't know anything about this story going in, and it unfolded in gentle and subtle ways. I really enjoyed the art style, which felt different than any other graphic novel/memoir I've read.

i tore through this in one afternoon and it was delightful. the art is super pleasing, the dialogue and characters are natural and relatable, the story is heart-wrenching and i was immediately invested. deals with heavy themes — religion and trauma, race, family, queerness, kids — in really delicate and tender ways. i love queer comics that tell a story in this particular way, with moodiness and love and delightful, flawed characters you can imagine as friends.
