“Well damn!! This book was incredible!!!! Yes that is a lot of exclamation marks. I feel so humbled to have read this and so glad I decided to listen to everyone recommending this book. Something to know about me is that I’m not usually one for hard hitting contemporaries. I like to escape from reality so emotional contemporaries aren’t really my thing. But I am not more inclined to potentially pick more up. But we shall see. I loved how this novel explored a plethora of relationships. Relationships with ones self. Relationships with family. Relationships with friends. It explored so much and evokes so much emotion from me. I was frustrated in parts and the reason I was frustrated was because I cared so much about these characters and I just wanted everything to be okay. I wanted them to be happy. To be so frustrated I think says a lot about the writing and how Meredith Russo created the characters and got you to care about them. I am not trans and I don’t know anyone that is trans and while I have never held any prejudice against them and never would I enjoyed, I appreciated getting to understand a small fraction of the struggles they face.”
“This is a young adult book but it feels important, like something that could become required reading. The angst of adolescence combined with the trials of being "stuck in the wrong body" for a transgendered kid is expressed in a beautiful way.”
