This has a magical realisim, surreal feel that is so full of truth.
There are wonderful metaphors abounding displayed as a physical reality and inserts of poetry.
This book I had to put down at certain moments and breathe as I felt so moved by our protagonist and their friends and know that their story Echoes so many stories that go Unheard in our world.
So many moments that feel powerful, and give hope and show anyone who is not trans how it feels. It has been a delight and a horror to walk in her fabulous stilleto shoes for a moment.

This fabulous memoir follows the journey of a young trans girl who has decided to flee her oppressive hometown of Gloom, "where the sky is always grey and the rain is always falling", in search of love, sisterhood and herself ✨
She finds herself on the Street of Miracles, and finally finds a sense of belonging in a group of fabulous, somewhat broken but absolutely fierce femmes, each with her own unique story to tell 💅
“Taller in my heels, I am closer to some dangerous heaven.” 👠
When a trans woman is found brutally murdered, she joins forces with her sisters to form a vigilante group to fight back the transphobes and misogynistic police officers who patrol the Street of Miracles. This is where things get a little out of hand..
“Sometimes fiction is truer than facts, and the trouble is knowing which fictions are facts and which facts are fictions.”
A one-of-a-kind, riveting debut memoir, that combines gritty realism with magic, a bit of madness, and a lot of badassery. Not a traditional memoir, but one that breaks down pre-defined gender and genre norms. An enchanting story of freedom, sisterhood, and transformation.👩🏼🤝👩🏽
Honestly, I cannot recommend it enough. Thom's poetic yet blunt writing style makes it an absolute pleasure to read.💝
