I felt like I was reading fairytales/folklore/gossip about the femme trans experience. I loved how the author portrayed her story with witches, mermaids, gods, etc. I’m happy that she found a community that was accepting of her right away but sad that it led her to violence. I liked that she had separate chapters about her ghost, pocketknife, and sister. I wanted to be her younger sister because of the wise advice she gave her sister (plus the cute gifts she sent along with her letters). 

I hope the author is finding herself and she doesn’t plan to run away from good things forever :) I recommend listening to the audio. It played into the folklore theme for me. 

Note: I still confused on her relationship with Kamaia (?) Sorry for the bad spelling. I listened to the audio.
