I wanted to love this so very much but it was incredibly gore filled and difficult to read. I really really appreciated reading about bodies and experiences like my own in the queer and autistic characters. I’m a sucker for a found family dynamic and especially a LGBT+ one, so that was lovely. However, a huge warning to anyone going to or thinking about reading it that there is so much body horror and very graphic violence. I don’t think it belongs in YA and should be in the adult section. Disappointed that I couldn’t love this as much as I wanted to, it was just way too much for me personally.
