Amazing telling of the author’s experience, thoughts, feelings, and learnings. I learned much from eir perspective. Highly recommend reading, especially for younger people who are working to discover and understand their own identities.

I knew that I’d feel so seen in this memoir and I was right. I wish I had read it sooner because I don’t know a lot of non-binary people who I could talk to about this sort of thing so it’s nice to see I’m not alone in a lot of feelings I’ve experienced over the years

Very well structured and pleasan to read. I really liked how the characters were drawn, especially the author growing up. 

It was nice to see someone with a similar experience to you be shown in a very human way and still have informative parts withoutit feeling like a textbook or a text analysing the experience.
It made me reflect on my own expression and experience and I really appreciate that kind of read
I would highly recommend this book to honestly most people. It's very versatile

I really enjoyed reading this book, as a nonbinary person myself, and seeing the difference in how Maia was brought up and discovered eir identity!
I found myself relating to certain things and empathizing, even leaning new things like eir pronouns. I never had a community like em and it makes me happy reading that at least others can see the importance and also gain some confidence in knowing that others go through the same things and that they're not alone.
I really appreciated this book :)

“Some people are born in the mountains, while others are born by the sea. Some people are happy to live in the place they were born, while others must make a journey to reach the climate in which they can flourish and grow. Between the ocean and the mountains is a wild forest. That is where I want to make my home.” p. 191
