I listened to this as an audiobook, and it was great! Short and easy to imagine/wrap my mind around, and with a lot of interesting implications and ideas about family dynamics and our bodies.

Thank you for this book, Travis! I loved reading a trans perspective that is so similar and yet different from my own, and I caught a lot of similarities between this and a paper I wrote for a class about my gender. Travis speaks so clearly to me, and I enjoyed the bits of humor interspersed with serious thought. An amazing read.

I feel like the ending could have been a little longer/more established but I really missed the tone of Hunger Games books & the way that Suzanne Collins writes! Loved this book a ton and seeing that perspective of the world she's crafted. Definitely recommend!

Very very beautiful art, and a very compelling story - I loved the mix ins of Bible verses. I'm not Christian so I didn't understand a fair amount of references to other stories, but this still carried a beautiful message.

This was a really fun way to present an interesting psychology concept!

I LOVED this book! My mentee recommended it to me and I'm so glad they did, the characters and story were so well written and such an interesting concept. I definitely recommend this book!

AMAZING. Literally probably up there with Starless Sea as one of my favorite books ever. The way that Morgenstern writes, jumping between stories and times, is so amazing and scratches my brain just right. The characters are all so alive and vivid in my mind, and you can tell she has such a passion for writing good stories from how high quality they are. I am so excited to see her next book, and I'll be thinking about Might Circus for a long time.

It was really awesome to get to take a look into the women's side of prison, because most of these stories I've read in the past are of a man's perspective. Kerman is really good at emotional connection, both to herself, others, and the reader. I didn't even know it was a book before the show. I definitely recommend it!

I'm a huge sucker for cute romance, so I did enjoy this a lot. I liked the writing of the interpersonal relationships, the different setups of chapters, and the inclusions of illustrations! A lot of creative ideas. I'm not sure how I feel about the twist, and Maddy's family backstory was underdeveloped, as well as Maddy's own backstory. I would recommend this book if you like cheesy romances that have some new takes.
