Mijn broer heet Jessica by John Boyne

5.0

This book is so beautiful! I really hated some of the characters and a bit of the redemption arc feels hasty but the message in this book is so important. I've struggled with how my parents view my transgender identity a lot and I wish I had an aunt like Rose but the way this book describes Jessica's journey is beautiful. It is a book full of heartbreak and power. A true and accurate telling of just some of the struggles of a transgender person, told from the perspective of a cisgender boy. I truly, and thoroughly, enjoyed this book!
