This was so sweet, and so full of joy; I blazed through it!

This is a story about identity—about finding yourself, about being unapologetically you, and not feeling the need to prove yourself to anyone. It’s a story about growing up, and about hurting those you love. 

But mostly this was, as the author puts it, a story about trans joy. I laughed. I cried. I wanted to throttle Miles at times and keep him from making the mistakes I knew he would, but that’s a part of life, and a part of learning how to be a good person and a good friend.
