4.5

I loved this book a lot. I read 'the spirit bares its teeth' before this, so I was already used to the body horror that White likes to use. The representation of so many different queer people was so heartwarming to see and also the neurodivergent represenation was great. I do think it is a little difficult to understand the main character's thoughts sometimes, mainly because the christian upbringing and its long-lasting effects on his brain are so well written but it's easy to forget them. It honestly should be five stars. The -0.5 come from completely subjective reasoning: I was called out so hard by this book multiple times. /pos How dare you, Andrew. /lh
