I avoided this book for so long because I assumed with “detransition” in the premise it would be terf-y, really glad about how wrong I was! Reminded me a lot of The Argonauts but I liked it better because it felt more relatable and accessible but just as (if not more) brilliant. There was some really beautiful writing, a super nuanced look at so many normally 2d queer plot points, and a refreshing perspective. I kept realizing how infrequently I read books with transfeminine pov characters. Also just an enjoyable read overall.
