As is my usual style, I didn’t read the synopsis before diving in. I only knew it fell under the LGBTQ+ genre and had ghosts so obviously I was sold.
I loved the plot device of using hauntings/ghosts as an allegory for transness. The mirror ”haunting” Bug is genius. I found some of it a little too perfect but also, it’s a middle school book, it’s allowed to be a little optimistic.
