3.5

I could recommend it based on Jess Taylor's fantastic illustrations alone, but it is also a nice YA story with a trans main character and a black disabled lesbian. I'm giving it 3,5 since I found the pacing odd, missed more empathy towards Taelyr's family, and the ending left some loose ends I'd like to see tied up, but perhaps the author was hoping to make a follow-up volume. I think it could hit bullseye for a younger reader than me.
