“Some people are born in the mountains, while others are born by the sea. Some people are happy to live in the place they were born, while others must make a journey to reach the climate in which they can flourish and grow. Between the ocean and the mountains is a wild forest. That is where I want to make my home.” p. 191

I absolutely LOVED this book! Why did I relate so much to Maia's experiences??? Not to even mention how clearly and succinctly e was able to put eir thoughts and feelings (which also happen to be the same thoughts and feelings I've been having) into words. It's so so sooooo relatable. The storytelling, the art style, EVERYTHING. I was on the verge of tears at certain points throughout the story and I would've definitely cried if I wasn't in public surrounded by people 😂 Either way, I really loved this book and I plan to reread it at some point so I can take notes of all the books, media and concepts that e mentioned. Would recommend to just about anyone who's interested tbh lmao

Misgendering was accidental. And all the times blood was brought up, it was menstrual blood.

4.5

I rate this book 4.5 stars ⭐️. I felt the ending was a little abrupt and unfinished; a little open-ended. I feel like it halted the continuity of the book. However, I related to a lot in this book. I’d never seen any of my thoughts that I’ve felt ashamed of or proud of, written down on paper and featured in a book before. I read it in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down.
