I don’t have the spoons for a full review right now, but A Million Quiet Revolutions was a fantastic novel in verse about two trans boys transitioning, growing up and falling in love. Gow’s poetry was beautiful and powerful, and I loved Oliver and Aaron. The author’s thoughtful examination of queer people throughout history was fascinating, and it was heartwarming to see the boys see themselves in these people. I would absolutely recommend this book. <3
