It's a teenage story about a teenage girl coming to a new town and making friends in her new high school, with a twist: she's trans, this is the South, so she's being stealthy.
The story is lovely, she makes fast friends and has lovely relationships 🥰, but there's also really hard moments (transphobia, past suicidal attempts, bullying). It felt right for me to read the story now, but please be careful of your mindset while reading the book. I still recommend it for a realistic book about a trans girl who has a stereotypical highschool experience.
