informative
tense

3.0
For some reason, neither the art nor the storytelling gripped me. I'm always interested in graphic novels exploring gender and coming of age. But I fell like this one never went beyond the surface, which may be a reflection of where the conversation around gender was when the book was published, in 2014.
Content Warnings

A heart wrenching story of finding yourself as a child and teenager, especially how we can enforce norms on others and ourselves out of fear or wanting to be accepted.
Some sections may have been quite clunkily conceived, but this graphic novel forces the reader to take a long hard look at growing up and trying to understand each other and where we fit in.
Personally, I found it interesting to read of someone else’s journey and experiences with gender and gender expression and how they came to know themselves. We owe ourselves to always love and be who we are authentically.
