(audiobook) - this story had a beguiling mix of cutesy fluff with sharp depth. there was a lot there in the glimpse of a trans teen girl's experience - physical violence from family, sexual violence from "friends", the highs and lows of sex work, the toxic hate from strangers online, the casual hate from strangers in public. and then there's a love story between a soulselling violinist and a space alien running a donut shop. the author did a great job of conveying a love for, or at least knowledge of, violin music and donuts and southern california asian culture.
