Customer Reviews

heartwarming coming of age novel for trans kids :)

The plot of the book itself is definitely simple, yet heartwarming, especially given that I'm also transgender and I've known so since around Grayson's age. I wish that there was a stronger indication of this being an LGBTQ+ novel within the vocabulary used, as other readers have pointed out. However, I feel like not including that makes the book more realistic. A lot of people, especially people around Grayson's age, don't have the words to describe their identity, which I think could be the case for her as well. But that aside, given that this is written by a cisgender author, I really enjoyed this book and the way its written could for sure appeal to queer readers. I felt connected to Grayson and the way her emotions and thoughts were conveyed as a reaction to the events that occurred throughout the book really resonated with me; it felt familiar.
