this book is so poignant. most of the LBGTQ info in this book is well know to anyone in these spaces, but i think this book does a good job at educating new comers and humanizing the experience of a

trans

teenage girl without romanticizing her traumas or sliding past any of the dark, ugly parts of the story. it perfectly follows the very thin line of accurately and respectfully portraying DV, struggles of LGBTQ teens, teenagers in general, and women without being vulgar or traumatic. overall, a fantastic book and i completely understand why it’s in basically every book club ever.
