Beautiful Music for Ugly Children by Kirstin Cronn-Mills
5.0

It's a shame the cover of this book is so ugly, because I almost didn't read it. Am I glad I picked it up, though - it quickly scored a spot in my list of favourite books of all time. It's a touching story about Gabe who has been unfortunate enough to be born as Elizabeth. Despite my big interest in LGBT literature, this is the first book I've read with a trans protagonist, and I loved it. Gabe is a music geek and radio DJ, and the book was surprisingly relatable. I was afraid it would be dark and gloomy, but it's definitely not.
I don't know what more to say, I just loved this book through and through. It made me laugh and it made me cry and I just loved it.
