I absolutely loved this book. Not many people are able to write a story and explain how it feels to be trans. But Jennie wood could do it in an amazing way. She didn’t only show how it feels to be trans, but also how difficult friendships can be as a teenager and how bad the situation can be for LGBT youth. And still, there is always a Solution and that’s what i liked most about this story.
