Exploring girlhood through the lens of a recently out transgender girl, Girlmode captures the complexities of being a girl in the 21st century and how that relates to navigating high school. There's a lot of tough themes that Visaggio tackles in this book, but I feel as though that they serve the purpose they were there to do and that Girlmode can be a really good resource for teens who need a book like this, especially for trans teens.
