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 book was amazing, and I would recommend it for anyone that is part of the LGBTQ+ community or part of any minority or activist group. it covers so many important topics that are unfortunately still relevant today. it's so well-written and beautiful and emotional.
