It took me until almost the end of this book to appreciate it. I got really confused with the space but also demon thing. And a lot of the flowery language about music went over my head. But damn did that ending make me cry. When you get past the weird genre mashup, you find a book about family, love, and art. And it’s beautiful.
Graphic: Transphobia
Moderate: Self harm, Alcoholism, Gun violence, Child abuse, and Murder
