Queer, trans Appalachian teen turning into a monster to defeat the religious trauma he was raised with? Absolutely yes, in every way <3 The pacing was a little uneven and some of the gory parts were quite literally nauseating but that's the only things that altered my rating. Overall, an incredible debut!

if i had read the is book in middle school, it would have been my new gospel. i loved the body horror elements. i couldn’t practically hear my own mom saying all the things the Angels said.

Wow. Wow wow wow are my lasting and not very articulate thoughts after finishing this book. I throughly enjoyed the very deep insights into religion, religious trauma, and gender identity that this work centers around. How insightfully written and creative. I'm going to be thinking about this one for a long time, I think.
