never have i read something that had me stopping so much to think about how similar i was to the mc. silas made me feel so visible, the way he talks about his autism and transness (not entirely relating to eachother) is so resonating. silas and daphne are maybe one of the best portrayals of trans love i’ve seen written and i am obsessed with them. this book was disgusting, tense, full of queer rage, beautiful, dark, gross, and gory and also perhaps the one of the best books i’ve ever read.
