Queer, trans teen boy, Benji, lives in a post-apocalyptic world. I am just not the intended audience for this. I am glad the representation exists and that trans/queer stories are being told, however, I didn't care enough about the world in which Benji resides to even care if he saved the world or not (assuming that's what was supposed to happen). The book is filled with rage at the world, which I understand being filled with rage, but (perhaps a privileged opinion) I am past this rage in my own life. I am glad this book exists for the representation, but I feel like it is a book where the author threw together representation and rage and covered in with a thinly woven story plot.

I'm glad others got things out of it, but I did not.
