This book starts as an exploration of grief and ends with a monster’s coming-of-age story. This was really fresh and I look forward to reading more from this author. Great depiction of queer relationships and unique families! Also, this wasn’t a major part of the book, but the sexual scenes were really good, when I usually feel that sex scenes 
are cringey. I don’t have a whole lot to say, I just enjoyed reading this book and its perspective!
