Read it in ~~4 hours because I refused to put it down.
It was really sweet at points, and also very sad too, but I loved every second of it. As a trans person, I felt what both Kate and Leo felt about themselves and their identities. It's comforting to be able to relate to people in the book you're reading, and that's another reason why I loved this book. I do think that the trans topics could've been handled just a bit better, but this came out in 2015 so I can't blame it much. Personally, I really loved the
At the end, I felt like something was missing. I really wanted to see more of
It's not just a story about trans people, it's a story about friendship, love, acceptance and self-discovery, and it's important for everyone to know these things.
I think it's a must-read. TRANS RIGHTS FOLKS!!! 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️

I’ll just say that this book is written in a very not trans friendly, actually rather transphobic way, and it just goes to proof that cis authors shouldn’t write books about trans people without being VERY sure about what they’re doing. It’s so sad that some people will read this book and think that this is the actual experience of trans people, and think that this is the way you should treat and view trans people as well. Please educate yourselves, and don’t take a single cis person’s (or multiple) word about trans people for good. And if you want to try and read books with trans characters, i recommend reading those written by trans authors
