This is a straightforward, engaging graphic novel memoir about Lewis's discovery of his trans identity and his eventual transition from female to male. There are so many teens who will find themselves in this story and I'm happy that it's a book that exists. Those teens need the chance to see themselves in graphic novels, too!

The overall format and tone wasn't quite what I was expecting for this, but it works for the intended audience. The general tone is, for the most part, light and entertaining, despite the fact that it's dealier with heavier issues like bullying, homophobia, eating disorders, and transphobia. It's a good conversation starter, and I'm glad for the ways that it will make teens feel seen.
