This is a very conceptual story, the kind of story that I feel like I'm going to need to read a few times to really appreciate everything this has to offer. But it's also a really compelling story about trans women trying to find a safe place, somewhere to belong that fully accepts them. It's about the aching longing for a true home, the fear of and reality of loss, the transcendent joy that an open and accepting community can provide. This is a book that's going to linger in the back of my mind for a long time.
