I need to sit on this one to formulate a proper review but THIS BOOK IS REALLY FUCKING GOOD!! Trans solidarity!! Rowdy trans teen!! Extremely fucking complicated messy relationships full of love and care!! So much angst! But also TRAUMA✨
The way this book handles the dissociative experience of existing and being perceived in a body that is not Your Body is striking, and the writing itself is great on the whole — we’re doing Art here, folks.
There were several quotes I loved and immediately forgot, but this one I saved (it gives zero spoilers except Vibes I guess lol)“That’s all we are, maybe. People who pick each other out in a crowd, and realist that the face of someone you’ve just met can feel like home.”
(I listened to the audio tho so forgive my punctuation)
