Wow, if you want a book that will break your heart, put it back together again, and leave you in a messy, tearful heap, this is for you! 

The found family, the aromantic representation, the generous use of neopronouns, not to mention the quality of the story-telling in general—I just loved everything about this. 

“We all live by these expectations, which we call laws of nature … yet is not nature that which plays out around us every day? Should we not draw laws from what we observe, rather than perpetuate some false thing that crumbles weakly before the truth of our lives?”
