This in no way suspended my disbelief, but, barring that, it was a sweet and enjoyable story. A good palette cleanser after several darker reads

I need to preface this with I am trans. I cannot wrap my mind around the idea that this book follows TEENS. there is no fucking way that within two years of coming out, Charlie was able to go on hormones, get his name changed AND top surgery (not even regarding his mothers salary). what doctor would let a 15 y/o get top surgery.
there were no consequences for anything, jasper was SO unlikable and Charlie was just such a shitty friend and person that it was an awful read. I know dysphoria is different for everyone but oh my god how many people really think about hand/shoe sizes???
AND WHY COULDNT CHARLIE SAY THE PHRASES "BEFORE I CAME OUT" OR "I CHANGED MY NAME" OR EVEN "IM TRANS" UNTIL THE LAST CHAPTERS. im done with this "before I found out I was a boy" shit. good god this is not how trans people should be represented.
I CANT FATHOM THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SIXTEEN.

this was cute! the ending especially! i liked that the other characters were treated like people rather than just tools to push the love story along.

About outing and transphobia All occasions in which the main character is outed as trans is voluntary and done by the main character (and all such outings are received well). But he does fear being discovered and outed as trans throughout the book. Most of the transphobia is similarly a fear of the main character but does not occur.
