Read by Shaan Dasani, Graham Halstead, and Avi Roque.
I don't think I was ready for this novel. I loved the main character, Benji, and the worldbuild, especially in my home state of Pennsylvania, but I was not prepared for the furious twist of religiosity that permeated the story. I should have been - it's right there in the title. This was a difficult read only in the sense that it is constantly ripping your heart out. I still don't know how I feel about the conclusion. I do know that I am curious to read more of White's work. The rage and passion fed onto every page is enrapturing, especially when it comes to trans rights. In writing this, I also just found out that Lily Wachowski is adapting the novel into a full-length animated feature film. I will definitely be watching it.
4.75/5
