this books was Amazing. as a queer autistic person, this is The representation i needed. oh my god.
the trans autistic experience is so well written, so accurate, so complex and true, yet simple.
i personally can’t say i was, well, horrified by the horror and gore but it might just be me. i know most people would definitely be queasy at the very least, so that’s something to keep in mind.
overall, andrew joseph white did a spectacular job with this book! i’ve already ordered his other book, hell follows with us, and i can’t wait for his future releases!! 100% instabuy every book he releases
easiest 5☆ of my life

Please please please read the content warnings, as many extremely violent, horrible things happen, and it might be a very difficult read for some. It's a very good book but very dark.seattlehols16's review against another edition

While this book does have a host of trigger warnings, it is horror after all, it also feels like an important book. I only have on of the identities that is explored in this book (being a woman in a world that requires women to be only a certain thing) and the author captured the FEELING of it. The other two identities were handled in the same careful, nuanced, real way. It’s a hard but necessary read.scmiller's review against another edition
