Read this book in one sitting because I could not put it down. I also cannot express how emotional this story made me. The main character's struggles are laid out in such a sympathetic and relatable way; it breaks your heart to think wanting to be loved for who she really is could be such an extreme idea to some. Amanda's voice is so real; it absolutely is as if she could've been one of our sisters, a cousin, or a friend. Without a shadow of a doubt, a must read whether you're looking for your next queer novel, or just looking for your next emotional book with a sense of realism.
