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.
