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.

The big mystery in this book, how the two stories were entwined, was amazingly done. My biggest issue is when the mystery is revealed. The conclusion did not make sense to me based on the clues we were given, and maybe it's because of the unreliable narration in one of the stories. I think if I'd realized that a bit sooner, the conclusion would've made more sense for me. Especially in the way the characters were characterized in the two stories
