The Ship We Built by Lexie Bean

5.0

Painful and powerful book on the subject of trans awakening and childhood sexual abuse. The story is related in letters that Rowan attaches to balloons and releases when he needs an outlet to be heard. There's a surprising hopefullness to it, but it's also, as advertised, a hard read. The author shares that some of the experiences are based on their own life in the notes at the end.
