I really loved the topic of this book. It dealt with a trans story but in a very cool way. I loved the road trip aspect and the various cast of characters that we met. The main character was very hard to like but overall i enjoyed the story and it gave me a nice understanding of the struggles facing trans youth. ( )

teen fic (road trip / best friend crush / trans girl in the midst of her hormonal transitioning confronts her estranged dad). Jess' art seems kind of douche-y, but I think that's because she's a self-centered teen? Somehow, Chuck can forgive her for basically not paying attention to him at all in the last 5 years of their friendship, and the story ends abruptly. I wasn't a huge fan of Jess' character, but that doesn't mean she can't still spread awareness for trans people, and the repartee between the two friends is entertaining and SAT-vocab-boosting. ( )
