I have not read a lot of novels with queer characters, and none with a trans main character. I am glad this was my first one, because it is just so dang beautiful. It is more and less than a love story. It’s a story of friendship and transformations. Of learning about yourself. I really came to love Tom and Ming.
The POV switches between Tom and Ming throughout the novel. And while the changes take place at chapters, sometimes it took a bit before I knew who was voicing the chapter. This bothered me more at the beginning, and that was when the pacing also seemed a little slow. Just stick with it, the story unfolds and it is worth it.
Moderate: Death
Minor: Deadnaming and Sexual content
