4.0

*This ebook was given to me by the publisher to give an honest review in return*

This book is about Alex who doesn't think he belongs in the right body and meets Tracy who helps him know how to be a real boy but that isn't enough. Alex starts to find his true identity by trying on dresses and meeting a gay boy, Andre, who isn't afraid to show his true self.

This book was an enjoyable and a powerful read. The author did a wonderful job with the writing and pacing. The author did a wonderful job with writing Sasha Masha's before transition but I was hoping to see how Sasha Masha was after the transition. This book discusses about trying to find who you are and not being afraid which does send a powerful message. This book talked less about coming out but more of who you are which I liked this approach made by the author because I think finding out who you are is really important and some authors forget that part.

I enjoyed the main character Alex who is now Sasha Masha. She had a hard time finding out who she was and was struggling with telling people because she didn't know herself. I love how she didn't step off on finding her true identity but willing to go out and find it out herself. There were some great supporting characters that helped Sasha Masha like Andre and her old best friend. I enjoyed Andre's character because he helped Sasha Masha and supported her through her difficult time. This book did have some romance in it but it wasn't the main factor.

I enjoyed this book but was hoping for it to be longer. It was a very short read and I wanted to know what happened to Sasha Masha at the end of the story. It was more of an ending where the reader can decide what they wanted to happen. Overall I enjoyed this book and recommend it to everyone because this book needs to be read.
