funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

A beautiful and quick read. This graphic novel felt like a love letter of self acceptance from the author to the reader and it was so great to experience.

hopeful informative medium-paced

Pretty cool graphic novel that remains formative while utlilizinf the medium of graphic novel! I will say it was sometimes hard to follow each individual person from the art style, but I do like how the sections were divided. Would make for a great edition to any gender studies curriculum!

I knew from the start this one wouldn’t totally grip me, but I stuck around and overall had an okay experience reading this. Nothing too groundbreaking.

This was a fantastic book! As an Olympia native it was a joy to read as well. I was really on board right until the end. I didn’t really buy Owen and Clyde’s relationship. And the sexual content felt really out of place for me. Overall this book gave me a lot to think about, is the bird a symbol for queerness?

Unsettling novella. It wrapped up a little too abruptly for me. Was very unnerved while reading!

I don't normally pick up fantasy, but I just knew with four POV's and the slow start this wouldn't be an enjoyable read for me. :(
