There were problematic parts especially on behalf of Rhiannon with her fat-phobic comments, refusal to use the correct pronouns for the trans person and what felt like a refusal to understand A's own queerness...
The storyline was still brilliant though, and I think Rhiannon's character added depth and realness to the story in its own way, but I wish the author would've made it more blatantly written in the wrong with A disagreeing or correcting her more openly...
I did like the ending (with exception of Rhiannon's part in it), and I enjoyed that there were multiple twists along the way.

Because of the nature of the body switching, it covers a lot of different life scenarios, which includes a lot of possibly triggering situations.novella42's review against another edition

I turn to the excellent audiobook to get me through hard days.
I just... I keep coming back to this book because it keeps meaning more and new and different things to me at different times in my life. I know it's a young adult book, but I'm 37, and was born with a disability. As a kid I would have given anything to have A's blessing/curse. The story of A's life reminds me of the many different facets of human existence, and helps me feel less alone.Â
