I loved every second of reading this book! I was excited that I called *part* of the ending, but was still struck by the twist! Excellent use of foreshadowing. Incredibly realistic characters and development of stakes & tension, ESPECIALLY for a debut novel!
Graphic: Deadnaming, Death, Transphobia, Grief, Death of parent, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Blood, Death of parent, Murder, and Deportation
Minor: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Homophobia, Car accident, and Alcohol
Brief mention/discussion of gang activity, dismissal of "Street kids"
