Big fan of novels in verse, but this one was phenomenal. It is not often that I have read LGBTQ+ fiction that has supportive family members from the jump, and that was a breath of fresh air. Main character, Mikey's name evolves and remolds throughout the novel as he navigates life as a Barbie loving child and later as a person in drag. I was left in awe and feeling so proud of the Black Flamingo (the person).
