A note for parents
This is a literary YA fantasy centered on a trans protagonist navigating trauma, identity, and survival in a magical setting. The book addresses serious topics including transphobia, police brutality, child abuse, self-harm, and addiction—making it emotionally heavy and thematically complex rather than graphic. It celebrates found family, resilience, and queer sisterhood, but is best suited for older teens with emotional maturity to process its darker themes.
In Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars, a haunted young girl (who happens to be a kung-fu expert and pathological liar) runs away from an oppressive city where the sky is always grey in search of love and sisterhood - and finds herself in a magical place known only as the Street of Miracles.In Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars, a haunted young girl (who happens to be a kung-fu expert and pathological liar) runs away from an oppressive city where the sky is always grey in search of love and sisterhood - and finds herself in a magical place known only as the Street of Miracles.
