There were so many aspects of this novel that I adored. It not only deals with loss, but it also deals with identity difficulties. "It's hard to be yourself before you know who that is." This novel has so many great and heartwarming moments. Bug, our narrator, takes us on a beautiful and sometimes tragic journey through the experience of struggling with gender identification. We're also moved by a cast of supporting characters who offer their love and support in a variety of ways.
