I feel the whole pic is basically lit fiction about their transness. Maybe good for cis people to understand trans people more but as a trans person I felt that it hit me over the head with their experience.  Also I really don’t know anything else about the characters.

Not necessarily a scary book, but definitely speaks deeply on life as a trans person, the social and systemic issues trans people face, and so much more. I saw myself and many of my friends in these characters, which made it that much harder to read and sweeter to watch them fight back.
