CWs: Transphobia, Body Dysmorphia, Binding, Racism, Misgendering, and Cyber Bullying
This YA queer rom-com book takes us through the story of Miles Jacobson, a trans boy who is also a pianist as he navigates growing into his self-identity and winning regionals. It has great rep about trans mcs and also traverses through their experiences. The writing was strong as it navigated through each of the characters’ experience as queer individuals in the world. I expected a really endearing and adorable gay story but it started to go downhill due to all the emotional cheating going on. Friendship drama side, it’s NOT cute and I will NOT EVER tolerate infidelity no matter how much justification can be said. I personally don’t recommend this book.
