I really loved this book but it is so hard to read. The transphobia is really really intense in this book and I don't think the synopsis covers that enough. Please protect yourself and look up content warnings before reading!

I really loved Dani and how she grew throughout the book.  She found a few people who were there for her and she truly did so much! I thought she was a great character and loved reading a book with a trans superhero! I just wish so many of the other characters weren't so horrible.
