this is my second memoir, and i am officially convinced i need to read more!! i loved every second of this and am so happy i read this one. while i cannot connect to the feeling's maia experienced in eir adolescence and young adulthood, i found it very informative! 100% recommend this one, especially if you are nonbinary and/or asexual and want to connect to someone who struggled with eir gender identity and sexuality growing up!!

This is the first book I chose to read for the Trans Rights Readathon. I don’t normally reach for graphic novels but I’ve been getting more into nonfiction lately, and love getting out of my reading comfort zones. This was profound yet easy to read, fun and light but hearty and emotional. This type of material is definitely what I believe should be taught to children so countless youths do not spend their entire adolescence feeling alone and uncomfortable in their own skin. Wish I had had this when I was young. Lovely illustrations and moving novel.

This is such a well-written memoir. With fast pacing and beautiful illustrations, reading this was a joy and a breeze.

I originally set out to read this to see why people are so intent on banning this book… and I can see why. It frustrates me to no end that people want to limit access to things they don’t understand. And I think if they could read this book with empathy, they could come to see why it’s so important for LGBTQ youth to have access to stories like Maia’s.
