noahrmendez's review against another edition

Honestly I'm tired of reading about trans fear and trans pain, especially the fear about being stealth and being outed. I'm sure the book is lovely but I skimmed through it and saw that there's an outing scene and mentions about physical abuse and suicide, and I'm just tired. I feel like I can't read one trans novel without someone stealth being outed or debates about if someone passes.

I just want a story where someone happens to be trans. I don't think this book is for me.

A Storygraph Recommendation!

I really enjoyed this book. Probably the first book I've read with a transgender main character. Grant felt unrealistically "hero" like throughout the book, but the highlights to Amanda's challenges throughout her childhood and teenage life was interesting to read. I understand there is a huge element of fiction in the book, but I felt like I learnt it was okay to show that you might not know what's okay and not okay, but you're trying and you want help.
