Endpapers is a book about Dawn, a queer bookbinder struggling with her sense of self against the expectations others have for her. When she discovers a hidden love letter from one teenage girl to another in the 50’s she begins a journey to learn more about their lives and also discovers how to be herself. I really struggled with this book. Mostly because Dawn’s character is in so much pain, at first I found it very difficult to sit with her in her pain and to watch her struggle. I had an easier time as the book went on and Dawn developed her sense of self and comfort in her skin, but it really made me reflect on myself and my own feelings about gender
