This book broke my heart, and I'm thankful that it did. A loose reimagining of Pinocchio, ITLOP follows a gang of mismatched misfits as they go on a quest to rescue Giovanni Lawson, main character Victor's father and the one person that ties them together.

Although I must confess that I'm curious about what TJ's uncensored version would've looked like, I nonetheless loved this final copy to bits. It destroyed my heart in more ways than just one, and at the same time it felt like an invitation to sit back and enjoy what makes us human, which might not necessarily include being a member of the human race. Also, the asexual rep was absolutely lovely.

I know that I'll go back to this story multiple times in the future, and I can't recommend it enough so you can discover this gem, and do the same.
