This book was an incredible piece about coming into your own. As a non binary transmasc person I felt incredibly seen by max and by Thor. I’ve never read a book with a trans man as a main character let alone multiple trans men in one book. It was so powerful to feel myself represented. To be honest everyone should consider reading this book.

This is such an incredible and important story. There were parts of the characters I'd like to have seen more fleshed out, but ultimately I think it all worked. But the themes, the point of this book was incredible. I would end up writing an essay if I started going into it all. But if you are interested in activism in any way, you need to read Leslie Feinberg. This embodies a lot of what ze said in some of their nonfiction about solidarity -- within the LGBT movement and outside of it. It discusses nuances of identity and nuances of connection. So many excellent things happening.
