emotional informative lighthearted reflective medium-paced

First of all I wanna say I didn't like the writing, but that might just be because it was written with a younger audience in mind. I got used to it after a while though.

My biggest issue is that I felt like the author didn't want to do more research than absolutely necessary on trans people. His cousin is deadnamed and misgendered at points where it definitely isn't necessary, even if you want to argue that at some points it makes sense because that's how the author acted at that time. Many passages could've been better if he just talked to a trans person about how to phrase things the best.

I think I just expected something completely different and was very disappointed by what I got. Probably a better book if you're younger and also not trans

I read this for a college course and it was so good. I don’t know if I personally would categorize it as YA because the sexual and violent scenes were quite graphic. I identified with the book which surprised me because I am a cisgendered white woman.
