I’ll always have a soft spot for queer lit set in Wyoming, and this delivered on all the scenic soul searching I could ask for. A top notch coming of age story.

A coming-of-age story with a twist. Although predictable in its villains, much of the rest displays sensitivity to the complexity of issues faced by the coming out of a transgender teen and his communities.

This was really stressful and tense at times;

I was so relieved that the big secret was only kept through the first half.

Really complex characters which I appreciated—they all felt so real, for better or worse. Also I now yearn for manual labor.
