this book honestly just made me sad :/ like i see where the book was going and i understand what is was trying to do but it just falls extremely flat. between the misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and fatphobia....theres nothing to redeem it. and i get that its told through the eyes of a young man who has a BUNCH of stuff thrust upon him all at once, but he has such little time in the book where hes actually TRYING to be a good person that i really dont like logan at all by the end of the book. i LOVE sage though and she was treated so badly...like by the end of the book all thats really happened is her life has been ruined and shes been horribly traumatized. the only silver lining is that she ends up surviving. thats the only good thing that happens in the entire book.

UFFDA. CHECK THE CONTENT WARNINGS. If you are interested in reading a book from a cis, straight boys perspective about wrestling with his attraction to a trans girl, then go for it. But if you aren't interested in hearing a lot of transphobic stuff in the process of the boy's self-discovery, I wouldn't read this.
The ending isn't as bad as it could have been, but it's definitely not a happy one.
