I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! Trans and just all around lgbtq representation. Nothing but love up and they l through this book. They way i smiled throughout this book and wished the world could actually be like this. Everyone should read this book. Especially parents of transgender children and even if you want to be an ally.
-Seeing Spencer being worried about how he’ll be treated at the new school if people know and then finally not giving a damn. Especially with him being black was just Magical.
-Justice church going parents are lame. You should love your child. No wonder many kids can’t wait to leave home.
-Transboy with the Christian gay boy love interest. They both play soccer. Come on with it.
-The exchange between Theo (Spencer’s brother) & McIntyre was so beautiful.
-The exchange between Spencer and Theo on Halloween is absolutely heart warming.
-Mom and dad in this were amazing. How the mom went to find support groups is what parents should do. How the mom protected Spencer from grandma’s card!
-Parents don’t always get it right like Spencer’s dad but when he had that moment on the train with that stranger. He understood and changed.
-Give it up for the coach and the kids on the team.
-The rule change for the soccer league.
