I thought this was a very interesting book. As someone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, I wanted to read about what it felt like to not be the gender you was assigned at birth.

This could be really informative to anyone, from a young teen who knows very little about queerness to a they/them adult who had different experiences. It’s useful to hear about other people’s journey. I particularly was surprised (and loved) how this book ended- not with a declarative “I know exactly how to exist now” but with a, “I’ll try again next time”. I think everyone just wants to have everything figured out, and the idea that you don’t have to, even as adult, is a refreshing one.

Injury/gore is metaphorical and features a character impaled on a spike in a couple of different instances. It metaphorically represents emotional/physical pain and features some amount of blood, nothing else. Blood warning mainly applies to menstrual blood.lisacanteven's review against another edition

*1/2-1 star off for the multiple Harry Potter references. I understand that Maia is trans, so e is someone who should be able to discuss HP if ey want. However it is still triggering, and I just wish we could erase all mentions everywhere by everyone since JKR keeps furthering her harmful anti-trans views and desire for anti-trans regulations passed everywhere. I think everyone, including all trans people, should reevaluate what about JKR is so valuable to them despite the hurt and harm she causes. I was hoping that since I bought the new special edition, all HP references would have been edited out. Mentioning HP instead of keeping it vague adds nothing positive to the story. It just adds triggering content.*

Shipping the brothers in Supernatural was a weird choice.bookedbymadeline's review against another edition
