“Melissa” is the story of a girl who others see as a boy. Such a sweet, emotional, moving, innocent portrayal of someone trying to be exactly who they are. I gained insight on thought processes of transgender individuals when met with cliche responses (ex: “Who knows how you’ll feel in a few years?”). Everyone should read this book!
