I'm not the audience that this book needs to reach. Regardless.. I had so much shame growing up in the Catholic Church as a relatively obedient cishet girl/woman that I can't begin to imagine the experience of the mc. Really loved the friendship and camaderie despite the problematic peers and family life he had. The art feels like something the mc would draw, and I liked that it was BW with spots of red/orange. I also really appreciated the mc loving and identifying with Jean Grey/Phoenix.
