Great easy read. The trans representation was extremely accurate to life and was clearly written by someone who has gone through the trans experience. I didn't love how Yadriel felt like he had to prove himself as a boy and this wasn't really disputed apart from by Julien. He did prove himself and that's what made his family accept him, it feels like maybe they should have accepted him before that, or he should have had some apology for them not doing that. all in all, a very good book and highly recommended.
