I was confused about how I felt about this novella at first. It seemed like their were too many aspects to be crammed into such a short story. By the end however, it all made sense and although I would have loved it to be a full novel, each part of Noah's life connected and concluded in a satisfying way. I'd like to see a sequel as a full novel to find out how Noah and his friends continue their journey.

On another note, as a parent to a trans son, it was nice to read about someone like him and understand him a little better.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC of this book.
