This book hurt to read, both because of the subject matter and how it impacted the lives of the characters.

The Author' Note at the end made me cry both because it is awful that it's like that, but also because the "Does" are so powerful for reclaiming what was always theirs. 

This also has pansexual representation, which I've found to be so rare. Usually characters identify as bisexual or queer, and as a pansexual it is so affirming to see a well written pansexua main character.
