Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.
A Million Quiet Revolutions is beautifully written. It's an absolutely gorgeous story about two trans boys who are finding themselves and growing in both life and love. It brings together the past and present to help paint the picture of the boys love for each other. The characters are multi-dimensional with flaws and imperfections showing them as whole and complex beings. The story, the writing, the imagery.. it's all stunning. What an incredibly written book.
Throughout the whole book we see the contrast between Oliver and Aaron's lives. One boy is accepted and supported by his friends and family, while the other boy is part of a family who refuses to acknowledge him as who he really is. The relationship between Oliver and his mom is so adorable. I was so thankful Oliver had a family who supported him even if they didn't understand what he was going through.
Written entirely in verse, A Million Quiet Revolutions is exactly the story you want when looking for a fresh taste of love and hope.
