What an amazing read about a transgender boy. The author did an amazing job at showing the challenges of being trans with religious, non-accepting parents and I could feel all of August’s emotions throughout the book. I also loved the theater aspect of this book. It fully took me back to high school drama club. Please check trigger warnings before reading and take care of yourself first and foremost.
