paper planes by jennie wood

I lovee going to the library and getting a random comic… This was my most recent one! I thought this was really cute. I love how many more queer books aimed at teens there are now – I would have really resonated with this when I was younger. I felt like the way Dylan was written felt very true to my experience growing up with a weird gender that I couldn’t hide even a little. One of the characters is written as aromantic, but they use the word asexual. I always get a little frustrated when the two are conflated, but I really appreciate what they were going for with her character! Overall, a really fun & light read.
