Absolutely stunning. As a transgender person who has experienced similar traumas as the main character, I connected with this book deeply. It is a challenging read because of the depth of sorrow the protagonist faces, but it is also hauntingly beautiful.

This book was truly wonderful, it’s complex, it’s emotional, and at times a bit confusing. It deals with identities in so many ways, and how they affect us. And oh boy the ending *no spoilers* was just so,,, much. I throughly enjoyed the journey this book took me on, even if it was not the journey I wished it was.
