A quick read, but enjoyable. It felt impactful and nuanced with a heartfelt but flawed narrator.

The braided back and forth structure is perfect.
So much about how love and bodies and gender and attraction intersect!
Loved it.

such a cute reimagination of Hindu mythology told through the lens of a queer man's identity journey. I listened to this as an audiobook and just learned that it is an illustrated novel? got to get my hands on that. But even without the illustrations I loved this so much!

A magical exploration of queerness, love, Hindu religion, and the beauty of living in the spaces in between.
