My queer ass is THRIVING after reading this book.
There's so much I want to say about this book but all I'm going to say is: Wow. More people should read this. Why is this not more famous? This deserves so much more love! Why? I have a list!
1. It's nice and short
2. It's hella and beautifully and deliciously queer
3. This book is actually really very good
4. Akeha
5. Have I already mentioned the queer characters?
6. Children get to pick their own genders and have gender nuteral pronouns until they choose
7. There's a character who picks their gender but doesn't get confirmed (which is kind of like getting 'assignment' surgery) and yes please, more of that
8. This is just a really great book, read it!
