a gripping story from the beginning. nothing makes sense until it does. the twists kept me turning pages. as a trans person i can see the continual discussion of gender getting annoying and over explained at times, but gendered environments like camp are literally just like that sometimes, making the tension and exposition necessary. other than that i thought this book was a great read! i enjoyed the lyrical qualities it had at times, and the plot was nothing short of phenomenal.
