Absolutely amazing book. I thought it was a bit weird that the main character who lived in a religious cult talked and thought like they were on queer twitter right off the bat. Even if Benji read it in forbidden texts, he still wouldn’t be 100% proficient in language. Maybe should’ve had some more discovery in the beginning. BUT past that this was a fantastic novel. I absolutely ate it up and was done with it in two days lol. As a trans guy myself I loved Benji’s thoughts with his dysphoria and how he navigated himself, and how others saw him, in this f*cked up world. Gore was 10/10.
