"I LOVED this story! The experience of the main character was the closest to my personal experience as a trans man. The way AJW wrote the Abernathy family was just beautiful. I've never read a book where the dialect it's told in fits literally perfectly and is done realistically, no over the top usage or exaggerating, just the actual way people with that dialect would speak when telling a story. I didn't have such a blatant and violent feud with another family like I'm the story, but the way the characters grew and interacted with the main character was honestly pulling at my heartstrings. Especially how they react to family violence, and comradery was just done so well. I have so much more to say about this book but I need time to articulate it. Overall, a new favorite for sure!"
