“And if it ain’t reet, it ain’t the end.” Happy to have spent time here in Lewis’ story. Thinking of all the kids one could’ve used this one.

Good, but I wish there was a bit more on life post-transition. I appreciate this work and enjoyed that the story was mostly light despite being such a challenging time for the author. The artwork was interesting and helped to lighten the mood, but I found the text a little hard to comprehend at times (although I'm from Canada and am probably just not familiar with the slang used).

Very good and relatable comic about growing up transmasc / a trans man and all the kinds of hell and struggles that brings with it. 
Love the positive and encouraging ending and love also the list of resources for LGBTQ+ people at the very end.

funny inspiring fast-paced

The English/British slang made it almost difficult to read at some points but also gave it a lot of charm at the same time. In no way would I call it amazing illustration work- but expressed everything in a perfect way. I feel like this would be a wonderful book for transgender teens (and non-transgender teens of course) to read and experience!
