this was Fine and yes of course I always appreciate trans rep
this read like more of a YA coming of age/coming to terms with gender identity than what I expected from the marketing. the time travel component is very very minor here and is essentially irrelevant to the plot.
would have liked this in my teens/early twenties, but as someone who is also 29 going
on 30, the main character did not read as believable. almost like he literally had never self reflected on his youth after 10 years of living away from his hometown
not for me but it will resonate for some people
