This book had me on edge the whole time but it’s SO deeply satisfying. I grabbed it without knowing much, just cause I’d liked Summer Sons. And oh man did it overwhelm my expectations!!
HIGH recommend to queers, non-cis queer folk especially. Please enjoy this strange, dark tale of justice.

Graphic: Religious bigotry, Misogyny, Hate crime, Medical trauma, and Transphobia
Moderate: Medical content, Pregnancy, Gore, Gaslighting, Sexual violence, Injury/Injury detail, Blood, and Deadnaming
Minor: Abortion, Death, Homophobia, Confinement, Rape, and Physical abuse
This book does NOT bury its gays. There is a lot of triggering subject matter but trust me when I say it’s worth it for the ending.
