This book is just beautiful and I’ve never read something like it. Two young trans boys fall in love while also figuring out their identity and how they interact with this world, while also giving voices to those that have come before them.

This is trans love in its purest form in my opinion. 
As a trans man growing up in a small religious town but with an accepting family this book spoke to me on so many levels. The different stages of coming out to yourself. The inner struggles that come with that. But these boys being able to share it with each other was so beautifull to me. This whole book just felt romantic about being trans in general. I love the way it was writting in more of a poetry way and it fits these boys and their story so good. 
I love the talk about different wants in both of their transition. How honest they are about their feelings and fears about their relationship. 
I love how this book potrays the struggles of having friends with less accepting parents, and being the one with accepting ones. It's just so real and I've never felt seen as much as the characters in this beautifull book.

This absolutely devastated me, but was so good that it was worth the emotional damage. Bonus points for having well-written queer characters that aren't just stereotypes.

I am beyond taken by this book. It is told in verse, and is one of the most romantic and reflective stories I've read. Highly, HIGHLY recommend the audiobook especially—the narrators do beautiful job of bringing these characters to life.

This is a coming-of-age story of two trans teens, best friends Aaron and Oliver, who adopt the names of Revolutionary War soldiers they believe were trans men in love. The story is an exploration of love, identity, culture, and religion, as well as navigating the intersection of communities and reclamation of one's self and history. I am all in my feels right now and the in verse format, as well as exchange of letters between characters is so easy to sink into and find yourself lost within.
