It’s the third book by Emezi I read this year alone and I can’t get enough. They have been one of my favorite author finds lately. The book is mysterious, it captures your attention trying to tie the knots together to understand Vivek’s death, just like his mother does. It’s very emotional and can be triggering, especially for people of trans experience and non binary folks.
