TRANS RAGE!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
I was not expecting this book to have as much horror and gore as it did, but I fucking loved it. It was so interesting to read how Benji’s transformation played into his transness. I also loved the autistic rep and the use of neopronouns!!
I will say this book had far too many named characters and it was hard to keep track of all of them. That being said: the main cast was sooooo good, especially Benji.
I am so glad to be living in a time where a book like this can exist. A horror post-apocalyptic novel with a trans male lead and LGBTQ+ representation??? HELL YEAH
