Beautiful Music for Ugly Children by Kirstin Cronn-Mills
5.0

I didn't mean to read this book as fast as I did... But things happen.
This book was amazing, and I just love Gabe (hence why I read it so fast). Since I have friends that are transgender and friends that do radio, Gabe was very relatable for me. I think giving him a public yet anonymous way to be out was really cool, but it got pretty scary when the walls came down.
I appreciate this book because she didn't try to sugar coat it. She didn't say "being transgender is so easy!", she showed the nasty parts of it.
