Ana on the Edge by A.J. Sass
4.0
What a great book to end the year with!
Honestly my rating might go up but right now I’ll stick with four stars!
I really wasn’t expecting this book to hit so close to home, but I really should’ve expected it, as this is the first MG book I’ve read with an enby protagonist
I love so much about this book. From the core message that there’s no one way to be non-binary (something a lot of people need to be told >.>) to the friendship arcs to the family, it was all crafted so well!! Seeing Ana pull away from one friend while getting close to another was aggravating to read but it made sense why she was doing it! It also made the third act that much better to read because you wanted to see these relationships be fixed! Ana learning about her dysphoria and how to combat it made my heart soar!
Plus, no violent transphobia! Just cisnormative statements that make Ana uncomfortable as she’s trying to figure out who she is, which is really relatable!!!
What I’m saying is read this book! Put this book in middle grade classrooms!! Just read it!
