Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
White did a fascinating job of creating an end of the world environment that was both haunting and realistic. The likelihood of a Christian terrorist group taking control of society due to some sort of pandemic situation doesn't seem too far-fetched- especially due to the current climate of things. The concept of a trans boy also being a monster boy, experiencing that dysmorphia on multiple levels was genuinely interesting. As I mentioned before, this world and the two opposing forces genuinely created a plot worth following. The ending did get a little muddled, especially as we follow Benji's narrative more often. As he turned into a monster, the internal dialogue was somewhat more difficult to follow.

Overall, this was a fascinating take on things and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It now lives in my head rent-free, not gonna lie!
