CW: death of a loved one, grief, gender dysphoria

Wow, this had me  SOBBING. Too Bright to See is an incredible story about gender dysphoria, ghosts, and a transgender boy, Bug finding himself and his identity the summer before he starts middle school. Highly recommend this to everyone, especially my trans friends. This is a book I wish I had as a kid and will definitely resonate with trans folks. Bug is now one of my favorite characters.
