thank you so much to Netgalley and Random House Children’s for this ARC !!! all opinions are my own :)
If he’s lucky, maybe he can reach out in time to catch Erin’s hand before it’s gone forever, and he can figure out all the rest later.
alright get ready for me to sing this book’s praises in this review. i love it so much
the characters: max (ftm) and erin (mtf), two trans exes. their goal: make it from their hometown in ohio to berkeley, california. the obstacles: transphobia and also a giant monster in a rural kentucky town who can mess with time and also may be a tad transphobic.
i was glued to this book right from starting it, max and erin are both incredible characters that i love dearly. theyre also not perfect at all, which is nice (more messy trans characters !!!)
this is very much not a light and fluffy book, it is intense and thrilling and gory. i think a lot of andrew joseph white fans would really like this (as evidenced by myself liking it).
the writing in this is extremely vivid, and apparently according to the acknowledgments it started out as a screenplay?? which is just in general amazing
anyway yeah thank you again for this arc. easily one of my top favorites for the year and something i will absolutely recommend to people who want solid trans horror <3
