Lukoff makes smart and thought-provoking use of the ghost story framework to reflect narrator Bug’s experiences as a trans boy, using genuinely creepy horror elements to portray dysphoria and societally enforced femininity.

As he investigates the ghost, he grows closer to the truth of his own identity. As Bug’s mother struggles to pay bills and hold onto the white family’s home, Bug’s best and only friend, Moira, grows intent on giving Bug a feminine makeover before middle school starts, something that Bug grows increasingly uncomfortable with.
