A short graphic novel about growing up and understanding and embracing yourself.
It follows a young trans teen during his coming of age from before he understands himself to when he finally realizes it and is able to come out and transition. One thing I really enjoyed about this novel is that the author inserted his adult self to talk to his (for obvious reasons quite unhappy) teen self as well as interview his parents on what has changed since then. I really enjoyed these sequences because they beautifully show that growth is possible.
Despite the sometimes dark topics this book touches upon (especially regarding eating disorders and obsessions with work outs), the writing is touching and quite funny at most other points and I enjoyed it a lot.
All in all a sweet memoir with a really interesting gimmick of the present self commenting on the past self.
Also note that the character is not out for most of the book and his deadname and wrong pronouns are used for a big percentage of the story.

Kirja on minusta hyvin kirjoitettu ja kuvitettu. Tarinassa kuulee kirjailijan äänen, joka onkin tärkeää, koska tämä kirja kertoo hänen matkastaan Loisista Lewisiksi.
Kirja avaa hyvin Lewisin pohdintoja ja hämmennystä, mutta toisaalta antaa äänen myös hänen ympärillään olleille läheisille. Tämä on hyvä huomio, sillä muutos ja etsikkoaika ei koskenut vain Lewisia vaan myös ihmisiä hänen elämässään.
Suosittelen tätä kirjaa kaikille, joita itsensä löytäminen, haasteiden voittaminen ja transsukupuolisuus kiinnostavat
