A Boy Like Me by Jennie Wood

5.0

I love any story that brings me into an unfamiliar world and makes me stay there. I love any story that makes me truly care about the characters even when they have flaws, because all humans do. I love a story that makes me want to keep reading because I don't have any clue what will happen, since there are so many possibilities. This book does that and more. Through the voice of Peyton Honeycott, born a girl but discovering himself as a boy, we go through more than just a coming-of-age story, but begin to understand the complexities of living in a world where nothing can be dictated by societal norms, whatever "normal" may be. I highly recommend this, as an entertaining and thoughtful read.
