I read this book without knowing anything about the content based on a TikTok review. I regret that I did not read the content warnings before hand.

Wow. I came in not knowing at all what this book was about and I’m glad. The mystery surrounding a young girls death and if her boyfriend at the time did it. The perspectives of the mother of the boyfriend and the girl are so real. The authors note is very touching. If you’re an abolitionist like me though, the themes of police and Justice are a little hard to take. The ruining of multiple lives through the system at the end is rough so the conclusion was slightly disappointing to me. But still totally worth a read. One of the best books I’ve read in a while.

This book was absolutely wow. I like going into my books with little to no background knowledge and this book was a journey like non other. I felt deeply for Lily and her past.

Her story was absolutely heartbreaking and really spoke heavily on the multiple issues those within the Trans community have to continuously face at the hands of bigotry.

Check those trigger warnings.

Lilly needed some therapy before just getting surgery. She needed to be honest with everyone around her about who she truly is. Asher needs to get his anger in control before he actually does hurt someone like his father. Did get a bit too preachy and controversial as the story went on
