Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure: A Graphic Novel by Lewis Hancox

emotional funny hopeful fast-paced

5.0

Welcome to St. Hell is an incredible point-blank telling of what it is to be transgender in your teens, but more than that it is an empathetic look on our past and the people who were there with us. Lewis goes back in time to walk us through his teen years and also to help his younger self out. He talks about what mattered to him then compared to him as an adult. He spoke to his family members and friends who were less helpful during his transition, and forgave and accepted them. Most importantly though, he was able to look at his younger self and tell him that he knew how hard it was and that it did get better. A kind, empathetic, and oftentimes messy look at the experience of being transgender and being a teen. I can only hope we get more books like St. Hell in the future.
