Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book was a fun mix of a lot of different things. A deal with a demon as a backdrop, a stranded spaceship crew, a family owned donut shop and a sapphic romance but the core of the story is a journey of a trans girl trying to find her way and identity through music. I can honestly say I’ve never read anything like this before, but I’m very glad I did. 

Pros: 
- complex, well-written characters 
- multiple layers of growth for multiple women in the story 
- genre blending 
- serious story with some fun aspects 

Cons
- the world building with multiple genres was a little lacking (but you could still understand the story fine)
- how “hell” works in a universe with multiple galaxies didn’t make a ton of sense to me

TW: transphobia, death of a child, child abuse, sexual exploitation
