4.0

first (audio) book back after a long break from reading. i was expecting more gender shit to happen between the twins, which is what initially drew me to this book. the zodiac connection is cute and the characters make sense. i felt heartbroken for them when they found out
their basement had flooded and destroyed their dead brother’s room
. claire figuring herself out from those videos was really interesting - more explicit than i expected. this captures a very contemporary coming-of-age experience.

 i kept thinking about how this family feels rich tbh, all this talk of switching schools to special ed, the house, the mother’s job. overall def worth the read for me, have never read about a genderfluid character before.
