One of the more informative books I've read all year. This book follows a character who is intersex and tells of her story and experiences once she is diagnosed as such. I really enjoyed getting to learn more about Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) since it's a topic that is rarely ever talked a...
At some point during my childhood I heard a story about a little girl who was born with male parts inside her body. I have no idea where I heard it, I just remember being really affected by it and that it really stuck with me. I was a late bloomer, to put it politely, and even after I hit puberty an...
A groundbreaking story about a teenage girl who discovers she's intersex . . . and what happens when her secret is revealed to the entire school. Incredibly compelling and sensitively told, None of the Above is a thought-provoking novel that explores what it means to be a boy, a girl, or something i...
I think people should read this and i would recomend everyone to read this book because i considered it to be a light reading despite the complex topic,but at the same time informative and enlightening about intersex and gender identity.I was very excited to read this book, it's not the first time i...

Things that are flawless: this book. The author knows her stuff, and she actually cares about what she's writing. Her passion is palpable, and even if you can't relate to the heroine's specific struggle, the message resonates and makes itself relevant to anyone: it's okay to fall apart, it's okay to...

When Homecoming night doesn't go quite as planned, Kristin makes an appointment with an ob-gyn, and discovers something about hers...
I recieved a DRC from Edelweiss this did not effect my opinion of the book. When I received a DRC of this one I literally downloaded and started reading. That’s how excited I was for this book. That’s sort of a bad way to start a book, because unless the book is just spectacular it’s probably no...
