I received an ARC of this book from the ALA Conference. All thoughts are my own.
This was my first book by the author and definitely will not be my last. This book talked about much needed problems in today's society, including transphobia, homophobia, classism, police brutality, etc. These are real every day problems that the author handles very well in this book and I think he does justice. Overall this book is a must read of the year in my opinion. Though I will say as a trans person, this book can be triggering (and can be triggering in other ways as well) so please read the content warnings carefully.
