Absolutely beautiful. A beautiful, heartbreaking and heartwarming story. Without a doubt this story is a must-read, especially for cis folks. There’s a lot to learn from this story.

I feel like the main character and his peers often spoke a bit too much like adults, which made it hard to imagine them as 13-15 year-olds. It also seemed like everything worked for him, which felt very optimistic, but in the end I'm glad there wasn't a perfect resolution to everything.

An uplifting, gripping book that I think has wide appeal to lots of tweens.  While Obie encounters transphobia and bullying, sometimes graphically described, it is his security in his own identity and the strength of his community that shines through.  Plus a killer swim competition which I’m always a sucker for in books.
