This was such a beautiful story about growing up, becoming more confident in yourself, and finding your people, through all the messy complications of human relationships. It was also so heartwarming to see supportive family, friends, and community.

I loved seeing Obie being on a team doing something he loves, turning to his older brother for advice, staying connected to his family culture, and going on dates - all things that teens experience. His essay for the contest was also so beautifully written, so I’m glad we got to read it.

The author reads the audiobook and Schuyler did an amazing job! I loved his narrator and this book so much. The author notes at the end really got me too.

schuyler bailar did a beautiful job writing this book. all of the characters felt extremely real. i often was able to feel my own hurt in obie's, and all of the struggles about loving his identity that he faced were ones i also found myself heavily relating to. this is a beautiful novel about identity, coming to terms with yourself, friendship, and learning to be confident. absolutely stunning. bailar's endnotes to his transgender readers hit home, and his note to cis readers was equally as important. hoping many cisgender people learn from this book and many trans people see themselves in it. i thoroughly enjoyed it.
