This book is equal parts fantasy and queer liberation. It’s about a young trans men who finds love, friends and home. Both with the people who loved him from the beginning and with those who had to learn to love him. Not because he was trans, but because relationships need care and growth to work. This is a coming of age story of multiple teens from different minorities.
They are finding and defending their homes, curing their religious trauma and learn to set boundaries.
This story is so relatable to the everyday life of queer teens and young adults, based about the feelings, everyday life and relationship of the characters.
I cannot recommend it enough!!!
