None of the Above by I.W. Gregorio
4.0
I had two main issues with this book:
First of all I'm quite sex repulsed and some things went just too far for me. Yes I know and I understand that sex in YA is important, and in this particular book it really is beause we need to take the taboo out of i, and I'm really glad most teens can read about sex and not bat an eye, but that's just not me.
Second, Krissy just believed too much in people. Sam was a fucking horrible person to her and she stills wants him to love her and she tries to talk to him several times. Vee insults her really bad and it's Krissy that apologies because she thought that it was her who told Sam, and Vee doesn't say anything when it was her who called her a fucking faggot. I can't remember Wu's name sorry I only remember her last name I suck but she was the one who told Sam about Krissy and she doesn't say anything to her because she "can't stay mad at her". I say fuck it, Krissy. Stop believing in people that much. Make them eat shit, make them know that they did something wrong. One of your best friends basically ruined your life and you aren't saying anything. Stop being so naive for fuck's sake.
But yeah, it was pretty good. I hadn't read anything about intersex people (in fact I pretty much didn't KNOW anything about intersex in the first place) and this helped me understand it better. I suffered with Krissy. And I fucking love Darren he's so cute and supportive and kind and gold-hearted and pure and I just YES KEEP HIM KRISSY
