I really enjoyed this look into the brains of someone who has ADHD and someone with dyslexia, as well as explanations of trans and nonbinary feelings in a brown body. For me, as a cis white woman with a neurotypical brain, this was useful. I know that McLemore has a magical realism aspect, this went a bit too far for me. I couldn't always picture the world under the lake (it always felt over the lake to me), and why it suddenly started up again. The cover isn't my favorite either.
