Dang. It was pretty slow at first and I was disappointed, but midway through it became an incredible, profound experience reading this. This book is, at its core, about what escapism as a material thing, and about toxic masculinity, and about what it means to live as yourself. What a beautiful, sexy, heart-wrenching book. There are definitely explorations of transphobia and, to a lesser extent, homophobia, but I think it makes a huuuuuge difference that this book is #ownvoices. And it has a happy ending ;)
