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.
