This was my first ever trans-read and I have to say, I was so incredibly grateful for the representation and how being transmasc was portrayed in this book. It never felt like it was making a point, and I think that is thanks to the author being trans themselves.
I cried, I laughed and I was angry. I don't think I will forget this book for a long, long time.

I loved that it dealt with difficult lgbtq issues without making it the main focus of the book and how it felt with systematic racism without it feeling forced.
The interaction between Yadriel and Julian when they came out to each other is in my top ten scenes in this book. the contrast in someone so secure in his sexuality and Yadriel who is still filling his boots so you say. The inner monologue of Yadriel in the scene was deeply relatable and i think applies to anyone who is different. Anyways love this book and Yadriel and Julian’s relationship.
Ok also pay attention to Yadriel and Julian’s use of nicknames, it’ll make your heart melt.

For deadnaming, the author is never explicit by never telling the reader what anyone’s deadname is. Also, there are some topics brought up in regards to leaving home or being kicked out of a house because of abuse or transphobia or homophobia (it is touched upon, but not too explicit—though the physical abuse mention is more explicit, but not more than a couple mentions and some hinting).booksandcat's review
