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.

i feel weirdly connected to this book even tho i cannot point out a specific chapter, phrase, ect that i feel connected to. i loved reading it, but it took ages for me to finish it. i couldn’t deal with the constant time change, the constant change of the feelings i connected to the times the protagonist talked about. but i found the book weirdly comforting in some way i unfortunately cannot express.
