A review by tellingetienne
Beautiful Music for Ugly Children by Kirstin Cronn-Mills

3.0

This sure was a book. I wanted SO SO much more from it as a Stonewall Award winner, but at the end of the day I was left wanting. It's very much a cis woman writing about trans people, and that can be frustrating. That said, it seemed to be fairly standard issue YA (with a dose of transphobia and violence over it, which honestly I just want to do with out). When will we have trans YA that doesn't have violence in it?

I did like Gabe, so there was that?
