Wow. I don’t know how to articulate it but it’s funny and it’s heartbreaking and it’s so full of love. I want to read it all over again. I wish I could experience it for the first time again.

A lovely fairy tale of a young transwoman exploring herself and trying to find out who she can be in the world. With the world itself being a place in many ways like our own, but imbued with elements of magic and fantasy. A really unique work which in many ways reads like YA fantasy, but doesn't shy away from portraying (mediated and transmuted through a fairy tale lens), trans spaces and experiences much like those we find in the real world.

First, thank you to Queer Liberation Library. This was an audiobook I listened to on Libby.
It's taken me so long to write anything about this book because I've been so busy, but I haven't stopped thinking about it since I started reading it. I was so excited to take my walk every day so I could listen to this absolute and nothing short of a masterpiece. I don't even have a lot to say about it except that it's perfect. It changed my life in ways I understand right now and in ways I'll understand years from now.
It doesn't matter if it's true, it only matters what it started within the reader, and for me, it started something big.
