readingpicnic's review against another edition
4.5
Very intense and thoughtful explorations of gender, sexuality, and race, particularly with biphobia and racism within the queer community. I can see the author starting to explore gender in this piece, I think pre-social transition? I saw this particularly with the constant thought that something was missing or awry in relationships that the main character couldn't put their finger on, even after they had mostly come to terms with their sexuality (enter: gender). The illustrations were incredible and connected very well to the different stories. I liked the blend of mythology with the fictional memoir-esque chapters, and this was overall a stunning book.
