Absolutely emotional damage, but I think the second half dragged on a bit with the side characters? It wasn’t like I didn’t care it just felt a little more unfocused at points. It’s still absolutely amazing though, the writing is very lyrical and beautiful. I absolutely loved the trans representation in this book. I would check the content warnings before reading since the book does deal with heavier themes and deadnaming occurs in the book. Absolutely loved this!!
