A challenging read into the very real depictions of what life can be when you exist in spaces not made for you. The content was very heavy and I very much appreciated the rawness and realness, without it being toooo trauma-dumpy (although it was, just a little). The characters were diverse and beautiful, but somehow my heart wasn’t totally in it at the time, maybe I’ll have to give it another go down the line.
