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.

This book left me with a lot of questions. I wanted more - more of Amanda’s story, more insight into other characters.

I was sad to see the direction Bee’s character went, and I wish there had been more follow up - it ended up feeling just like a plot device.

All told though, I’m very glad to have read this book, both as a YA book filled with friendship and first love, as well as an insight into the trans experience.
