First and foremost, love a trans main character written by a trans author. Second, I would die for these characters. I love them so much and I simply want them to be surviving and thriving. I really enjoyed this book. It's angsty and moody but also hopeful and joyous. It touches on the challenges faced by trans people without limiting the trans experience to only pain. The ghosts and magic are delightful, and the deep ties to Latinx culture and traditions are really beautiful. I literally laughed and cried (okay, sobbed) while reading this. It's gorgeous, the hype is entirely justified.
