This book left me with a lot of questions. I wanted more - more of Amanda’s story, more insight into other characters.
I was sad to see the direction Bee’s character went, and I wish there had been more follow up - it ended up feeling just like a plot device.
All told though, I’m very glad to have read this book, both as a YA book filled with friendship and first love, as well as an insight into the trans experience.
