I was alerted to this book by some anti-trans group mad that scholastic is selling this book to high schoolers. It's written for high schoolers. It's a wonderful and raw story about the trials and tribulations of growing up trans. And while there is a sex scene and since it's a graphic novel it is visual, it is not there to be sexy, it fits in the story and is tame compared to other books I have seen on the shelves of libraries. Plus it's high school, kids are having sex. It's a very good book and every part is there for a reason and that reason is to inform and share the how it is to be trans.

Taking #ownvoices to the next level, Hancox gives voice to his current trans-masc self AND writes scenes where he talks to his pre-transition teenage self. Incredible.

It's a graphic novel memoir of growing up trans, and like, eh, it's perfectly fine, competently done, no complaints about it, but it just....idk, didn't have enough there to really engage me deeply? I guess it's more for an audience of either nervous baby trans people or of cis people Trying To Understand. Which is fine and good! But I'm not either of those things.

I really liked this memoir! One of my favorite parts is when the author pauses the story to interview others (his parents, friends) about the situations so you get to see multiple sides of the story.
