This book is very tough, at moments. There are some quite violent scenes (verbally and physically) you should be prepared for. I think it depicts reasonably well the POV of a transgender teen who is just trying to appear normal, but also the POV of the girl who has a crush on him and suddenly discovers he's trans. She does not react well, at first, which I think it's realistic enough, considering they're just teens.
What I am a bit hesitant about is the too-good-to-be-true Disney-like ending, where in one small chapter all the problems suddenly find a solution and they lived happily ever after. I mean, it's very nice they have a happy ending, but this was kind of "too much" to have happened in one day.
