A review by blackcatkai
Miao Dao by Joyce Carol Oates

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.0

CW: blood, gore, death (child & adult), animal death (off-page, found after the fact), sexual harassment/assault of a minor, murder, bullying

puberty sucks, this one focusing on the too often true afab peoples experience with it. some of the real dangers that can come with that from the perspective of Mia & how she attempts to cope with & overcome it. I really liked this one.
