This was absolutely fab! So excited that my library had this one in stock!
In this book we follow Lewis/Louis. He is a trans man who tells us about his school years and how he was trying to figure out what and who he was. He was a girl back then and we see how he strugglee with his years in school and afterwards. Girl or not? Love, should I snog or not? Who do I like, men? Women? Everything? There are questionable fashion choices and hair options. At times it was painful and I was heartbroken to see how Lewis when he was still Louis started to starve and exercise endless to get rid of curves, to get rid of the fat, to get rid of everything.
I loved how the book flashed back to the past, but also allowed Lewis to talk to himself from back then. How he understood, but also at times was just laughing at it all. We also get convos with family and friends on what they thought about things, how they felt when he came out and told them about how he felt, when he really decided to live as a man. It was a fantastic memoir and I just devoured it.
HIGHLY recommended.

A graphic novel detailing the experience of a trans man in the closet in high school and coming out in college. I enjoyed it, and thought the subject matter was handled very well while preserving the emotions of the story. Also, this is the most British book I have ever read.

I'd seen a bit of Lewis on YouTube before, I just found out he made a graphic novel. It was very well made and I read it all in one sitting, shed a few tears at the end.
