Tobias is such a beautifully tragic character and I love him so much. Again, there are a lot of mature themes in this book, including suicide, body dysphoria, confusion about identity, etc. But Tobias is such a deeply emotional and feeling character, I really feel like it was handled well. Honestly looking forward to more of his POV books but I know he doesn't have a lot which is just TRAGIC. I love you bird boy ;A;
