Old Wounds by Logan-Ashley Kisner

5.0

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

---

Not necessarily a scary book, but definitely speaks deeply on life as a trans person, the social and systemic issues trans people face, and so much more. I saw myself and many of my friends in these characters, which made it that much harder to read and sweeter to watch them fight back.
