MY HEART!! 🥹
This story does a beautiful job with centering the queer experience and queer joy. While the story is set in the fictional world of “New Earth” years in the future, it is still grounded in a way that makes the story incredibly relatable. An overall heartwarming story! This is a great book for any kids who are exploring their identities and seeing themselves in characters their age. It’s also so nice getting to see so much POC queer representation.
I also absolutely adore the art style.

Content Warnings
Moderate: Bullying, Deadnaming, Homophobia, Death of parent
Minor: Biphobia, Toxic friendship
Deadnaming: I will say, the deadnaming is handled really well by the authors by having mentions of it as scribbles, so you as the reader never actually learn it.
Death of a parent: It is discussed by several of the step-siblings to Indy (main character) about the death of their mother.
