  • Echidna

    This collection made me swoon and laugh and cry. I particularly loved the love story between Prometheus and Māui - I loved learning new Reo and exploring the intersection between Greek and Māori mythology. The transness in this book was gorgeous exploring how a conservative transphobic and colonized world perceives gender expansiveness as monstrous.

    I loved the butch representation in this book! Read it to see if it'll be a good recommendation for the young lesbian kids in the school. It was so binge-able I read it in one sitting. The ending was a little too quick, I felt for the cheerleader who quickly realised her girlfriend and friend were falling for each other. Although the cute little windows into their lives after high school ended did help in terms of seeing how the break up was for the best. Really a fantastic read for people exploring how gender expression shouldn't be dictated by sexuality stereotypes.
