I wish I had the capacity to encapsulate even a fraction of the beauty of this story... A beautiful, deeply intimate tapestry, with connections woven across time and meaning, between scenes and emotions described so vividly and viscerally, I felt them with my whole body. An at once personal and universal love letter to queer and trans existence and feeling on our own terms, that I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to read.
