This is both deeply personal and wonderfully executed. There needs to be a lot more literary works like this in the world. A lot more.

I had heard good things about this book and an opportunity to attend an author talk (virtually) with Maia Kobabe finally made me sit down to read it. I can see how a book like this would be an incredible lifeline for anyone identifying as non-binary or asexual, despite my being neither. I think it's important that as more and more books are available (particularly for teens or in graphic format) about the extremely wide breadth of the LGBTQ+ experience, that we see better representation of some ...more

I’m really glad this book exists, and I can see it being a relieving and validating experience for some folks to see themselves reflected in it; or an informative book for people wanting to understand more perspective on non-binary and asexual identity...

This book was a wild ride for me. Some pages I was like, "It's me!" and others were more "It's not me!"

I will likely re-read this one in the future!

Recommended for anyone interested in graphic novel memoirs with trans content. ...more

This was a well done graphic novel about a non binary Persons struggle through life. The artwork is good and the story is interesting. It was a quick read.
