so, as a genderfluid person, this book very quickly became a comfort book to me, even before I realized I was genderfluid. the romantic relationship is adorable, but I like how it also focuses a lot on Riley, their struggles, their internalized issues, and their friendships. It's a book that I can and have read multiple times just because it makes me feel safe. despite this book having very heavy topics, it's strangely comforting.
