The story totally sucked me in, left me crying and hopeful which I thought was lovely. But I don't feel like I gained any new insights into the rage and despair and frustrations - just overall experience - for transsexual individuals. I liked Regan's POV but wonder if it would have felt more complet...
So this is one of the few YA books out there with a trans character and it naturally piqued my interest. I enjoyed it, but it's not without flaws. I found both Regan and Luna to be incredibly selfish at times and none of the characters were very likable, probably owing to the lack of development. Lu...
Amazing story of two siblings, one who is transgendered and the other who protects her sister's secret from a world that believes she has a brother. It's a beautiful story of siblinghood, and of gender identity, and it's wonderful. Just read it, okay?

I learned a lot about transgenders in Race & Gender class (yes it's a real class, haha) last year, and until then I didn't fully comprehend how hard it is to be a transgender. Everyone who doesn't have the opportunity to take such a class, you should check out this book. It's very eye-opening. It wa...
This was really good. Heartwrenching. The parts about the parents trying to force their kids into traditional gender roles, and ignoring the evidence in front of their eyes... this feels like an important book, one that anyone who knows a transgendered teenager should read.
