Can't Take That Away by Steven Salvatore

5.0

This book took my breath away. I devoured it. I loved the genderqueer main character and the pronouns in each chapter. I loved the honesty and rawness about what it means to not fit in the gender binary. I loved the pride and defiance and justice. I loved the way music was woven through every fiber of the story. I didn't love the romance; it felt a bit awkward and forced. I also wish there were trigger warnings for the content. But this book is so amazing, so quoteable, so necessary, that i can forgive these errors.
