This books tried to do WAY too much. It mostly read as a YA novel, with shallow logic to advance plot points, but also tried to deal with heavy complex issues. I wanted to know more about almost every character. They were intriguing, but just felt underdeveloped. Same with the plot. Some well written detailed scenes, descriptions and interactions, but many more that were lacking depth or logical flow.
Graphic: Sexual content and Transphobia
Moderate: Physical abuse, Racism, Self harm, Deadnaming, and Homophobia
