This has been an enjoyable story so far! I’m so happy that there are more stories depicting queer and especially trans experiences. I love the cast of characters in this story. They are all so fun and we get to see different levels of self-acceptance. I appreciate how a few characters subvert societal expectations. Some of the relationships in this story are so sweet and caring, I was sobbing. 

It’s really cool that this story sets up a tangible conflict (ie. there is a big bad), but then there is also deeper emotional conflicts happening within some of these characters. I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes for these characters. I’m nervous for, but excited to see how Max navigates these new challenging experiences. I’m rooting for him!
