This is a very intriguing, and important novel about gender in the late 1990s.

I found the colour scheme to be absolutely beautiful and the story intriguing if a little confusing with transitions to different points in the novel

I have to be sincere, this was kinda boring. It started funny, but at some point I had a hard time reading it.

With it's monochromatic illustrations and somewhat meandering story this graphic novel about a young person figuring out their gender identity in the early 2000's should have been an instant hit for me but unfortunately it just didn't capture my imagination or tug on my heart strings the way I would have expected it to. It is essential that we have more diverse stories represented in graphic novels so I'm glad the book exists and I've no doubt it will connect with many young trans people who could relate directly to the protagonists experiences but for me it missed the mark.
Thanks to Netgalley.co.uk and Nobrow Ltd for the free eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Set in 1999, the height of Y2K and the millennium bug, this Graphic novel was an interesting gender exploration with some touches on sexuality.

I feel there were a lot of potential plots throughout however they weren’t woven together in a way that entirely worked for me as a reader, however for young trans people, or those figuring things out, it may be an interesting read.

Overall I really enjoyed this graphic novel. I found the storytelling and graphics to fit well together. Sometimes I felt the scenes jumped too fast/rapidly and the story got a little lost.

What an important story that was so beautifully told. Sensitive, honest, funny and heartbreaking at points, I really felt for Jet. Growing up is hard enough, but growing up knowing something just isn't right is even harder. Especially at a time when transitioning wasn't as openly discussed as it is now.
I felt it captured the 90s and 200s so clearly, and the mixtape element really added an extra bit of fun. The illustrations were fantastic, I could read the emotions jumping out from the page.

A great graphic novel, and one many more young (and old!) people should read.
