I don't even know where to start. This book was amazing. The trans representation was amazing! It felt so accurate and even got me to realise a few things about myself. The mental health was hard but so well done too. 

I would recommend this book to anyone trying to understand what it is like growing up and finding connections as a trans person and/or dealing with a mentally ill parent. It sure did give me some healing and I hope it will do so to other readers.

Apart from that I also love Avi Roque as the narrator. Their voice was perfect to bring us Gael's story.
