I loved almost everything about this book. This should be required reading in middle/high school and I plan on having my sons read it this summer. I know the author said that this is not meant to be educational, and she took some artistic liberties,  but it's still such an insightful look into what it's like for a trans teenager and how they are affected by their cis peers, which I feel is so important for cis people to learn!
