I was confused a lot why they would back track with Lily’s memories. I kept thinking I went backwards but I think they did it on purpose.
It was very intense and very sad. The hopeful parts were of the mothers saving their children.
I thought that these pieces were silly to add because I wanted justice for Lily that Ash wasn’t the greatest. Or I wish it was more smaller anger emotions that he apologized later because of his trauma. I think I was disappointed that Lily never got to share it. The true character.

The way the book revealed Lily being trans was done really well. I think that a lot of the points characters made around being trans were really beautiful. I really appreciated Jennifer’s authors note at the end. I too was saddened by Lily’s death just when she was finally getting to be herself and starting her life but that is the reality for so many trans women.

This book didn’t land in my DNF only due to the fact that the beginning was put together so well and as a hobbyist beekeeper myself, I appreciated the well-researched beekeeping elements. Listening to the audiobook saved some time, thankfully. Lily’s character and her narrator became tiresome. The rushed ending crammed in every controversial topic, almost making me feel duped into reading about subjects I wouldn’t typically choose.
