This story was soft and deep and comforting at the same time.
You get a bit of lovely sweet romance, but mostly you get family dynamics, abusive parents, a rekindling of a sibling relationship, friendship, dealing with anxiety and depression, and most importantly finding people with whom you can live your true self without fear.

At times I kind of wanted a little more out of a few things. If I'm being completely honest, I almost felt like the gender identity wasn't developed enough? But at the same time I think I appreciate the fact that not everything had to be explained like a textbook. Things just were. There is no need for pages of explanation about their feelings and how they express their identity.
It is clearly a book written by a non binary person about a non binary person written first and foremost for non binary people to give them their own story and to show that they can find their happiness and their family, they can be who they are without being forced into silence and discretion.

I was personally extremely touched by the relationship between Ben and their sister. Seeing how they dealt with their parents was, particularly at the moment, very touching to me on a personal level.
Blood doesn't mean you have to forgive everything. You are allowed to seperate yourself from toxic people with whom you cannot live your full self. You can choose your real family.
Thank you.
