This book gave me [a:Becky Albertalli|7579036|Becky Albertalli|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1392414949p2/7579036.jpg] vibes. It's not that everything is viewed through rose-tinted glasses, or even that it's smooth sailing for the main character but it just felt wholesome and good. The kind of book you know will have a happy ending.

It's a good book. I enjoyed reading it, but I wish it was a bit more nuanced.

Yall know I love a good sports book and this is a good sports book. It has romance, sports (obviously) and deals with the very real issues faced by transgender individuals who want to do sports. But it does a good job at balancing all of these things in a way that makes the characters feel just as real as the issues that the story is presenting. (Plus the romance was kinda super cute).

I received an ecopy of this book through Netgalley; however, my opinions are my own.

I didn't realise that a transgender boy falling for a Christian boy would be one of thr few romance I actually enjoy but this book was so good

Very cutesey! I felt there wasn't much wrap up to the story between Spencer, his brother, and his parents. As someone who grew up with a medically complex sibling, I was hoping his parents would realize how much they were asking him to do.
