This book is heart-breaking and can be hard to read. Its super queer and you can definitely do trans readings of it as well. The art style is one of a kind. I took some stars off because there is a lot of suspense that leads to a not so conclusive ending that seemed kind of rushed. Too many loose endings for my liking.

'My Favourite Thing is Monsters,' was recommended by this now dead podcast (harassment claims on a host). What a charming, dark, impressive graphic novel. Totally cute, but disturbing, and full of love. Just read it, even if you don't do graphic novels, like me.
