I found myself thinking about this book every time I wasn’t reading it. I loved Mars and the whole summer camp atmosphere. I’m starting to get really invested in the trans horror subgenre. The last 100 pages were a wild ride and every time I thought I knew how it was going to end something else happened.

Highly recommend the audiobook! It was so fun hearing the background as the narrator read and the story kept me excited for more twists.

a gripping story from the beginning. nothing makes sense until it does. the twists kept me turning pages. as a trans person i can see the continual discussion of gender getting annoying and over explained at times, but gendered environments like camp are literally just like that sometimes, making the tension and exposition necessary. other than that i thought this book was a great read! i enjoyed the lyrical qualities it had at times, and the plot was nothing short of phenomenal.
