wow. I consider myself an LGBT Ally, something I don't take lightly. I sponsor the Gay-Straight Alliance at the school I teach at. Levithan's works have been on my to-read list for a while, and I am so glad to have this book be the first one I read. Thoygh there are serious LGBTQ undertones throughout the book (since A is in love with a girl and frequently inhabits girls' bodies, not to mention the occasional gay or transgendered teen), this book is far more about determining who you are and what your place in the world is. And we can't forget the star-crossed lovers, either...
Another reviewer said there were too many sub-plots that were irrelevant. I disagree. I think Levithan does an excellent job balancing the main story with the stories of the lives A takes over for the day. The fact that our narrator can so easily, seamlessly adapt (CAN does not mean he al ways DOES) makes these sub-plots vital to the character development of A, as well as placing him in the larger context of his unique existence.
The fact that Goodreads lists this book as #1 in a series is heartening...The book ended, and I was not satisfied. This part of A's life may be over, but there are too many promises for the future and too many possibilities. I'm looking forward to the next book, no doubt.
