Extremely well written, and also I feel like I've just had my heart beaten to a bloody pulp. Is that a good thing? Depends on what you're going for, I suppose. Sensitive handling of a large number of difficult topics:
the experience of being a trans kid
coming into ones sexuality as an adolescent
transphobia and homophobia
parental incarceration
incest/sexual abuse 

it's...a pretty big list. Treat yourself gently after reading.

As a genderfluid trans masc person, this book was really important to me. Fantastic for readers of any age. It is coming-of-age story about friendship, broken homes, and self-acceptance. It addresses the experience of growing up trans and queer and growing up in an unaccepting household and society. CW: implied incest and sexual assault.
