Although this shows a very deep understanding of gender I personally would have loved to see a conclusion that shows that they’ve come to terms with their understanding? It left me slightly confused what the purpose of the book was, but as a non binary person I do see and love the representation I haven’t really seen anywhere else, especially neopronouns <3

Maia Kobabe is such an incredible talent, this story brims with so much heart and care. It breaks my heart that in many states people will not be able to find this at their schools and libraries.

Such an accessible way to discuss gender and not shy away from complicated questions and issues on the subject. It was great to read about a nonbinary person who uses e/em/eir pronouns, which I'm less familiar with! The storyline was easy to follow and I think Maia did a great job of showcasing the complexity, hardship, and beauty of genderqueerness. Just a really moving book. Reminds me of Fun Home but with more introspection from the author. I also appreciated how this book didn't really provide easy answers. It invited you in to think like Maia does and join em in the deluge of questions and uncertainties. Also, the art was beautiful!
