Ce livre est un véritable bijou. Il m'a énormément touchée. 

Ce roman s'apparente selon moi plus d'une expérience réelle que pourraient vivre de nombreuses personne que d'une fiction. Je pense en effet que beaucoup de gens se sentiront très proches des personnages, de leurs sentiments ou de leur histoire personnelle. 
Il montre notamment que même au sein de la communauté LGBTQIA+, il existe des discriminations et qu'on a beau être "out" et s'affirmer en qui l'on est, ça demeure un combat régulier pour se faire accepter et s'accepter

Je recommande ce roman vivement, à tout un chacun.

Heartfelt trans YA novel with believable teenagers, a lot of teen angst and a low key gay romance. I think this works best as a coming of age story rather than a romance. The MC has a couple love interests and I was relieved by who they ultimately ended up with. 

Parts felt a little heavy handed and some of the conversations had a queer 101 / trans 102 quality.

Loved all of the characters. Very relatable for me as a Transmasculine person who uses both He/Him and They/Them pronouns!!! Great book with fantastic representation all around.

A perfect example of a book that is so necessary. LGBTQ+ kids need more representation in books. They deserve romance and happy endings. 
I wish we had books like this when I was growing up. 

Although it was a traumatic read, it was raw and unfortunately what too many trans & gay kids deal with. 
This read sent me through a wide variety of emotions but I am glad that I read it. 

I would definitely recommend this book and have in my classroom.
