It has a very good message and I'm glad a book like this is available for young people today, particularly young trans people. The art was gorgeous. There were a couple times I noticed that characters' facial features switched (ex Galaxy's nose shape would change or her jaw would suddenly become angular instead of round) but other than that, the art was stunning and I adored it. I really love that lineless style.

Everything about this story was absolutely beautiful. From the art work to the writing style. I love how deep it went about the self acceptance and not letting fear stop you. I wished we got a little more about Kat’s backstory. But I understand that this story was mainly focused on Taylor and her journey to self discovery. All in all loved the story and definitely would recommend.

I really loved this comic! It was just very sweet and I really liked the writing - especially the descriptions of how dysphoria feels and what makes up a galaxy. It was almost poetic. 

The artwork was also really amazing with a fantastic color palette and well conceived characters. I loved the disability representation. The whole story was a really strong allegory for coming of age as a trans femme and experiences of transmisogyny. Very well done!

My only complaint is that the pacing felt a little off, like things were rushed and developed too quickly. But overall, this comic was truly a gem.
