This novel is held together more by vibes than plot. The story centers around three trans men: Pen, a dogwalker living in New York, who is very jealous of Aiden, a Gram Influencer; he hatches a plot to hex Aiden back to into the Shadowlands (transition based depression). But the hex accidentally falls on Blithe, an LA scriptwriter, instead. The omnipresent trans crisis solutions organization, The Rhiz, tells Pen and Aiden that they have to team up to go rescue Blithe and help him find his way out of the Shadowlands. It was a bit unclear to me way Aiden agrees to this plan, but they do pair up and end up living together for the majority of the rest of the book in a very loose, under-employed millennial way. I enjoyed many of the digressions- Pen recounting experiences of his legal name change, mystical therapist, and dating a straight-passing celebrity- but in the end the book didn't really come together for me.
