This is a fantastic book about the perspective of trans people at different points in transition supporting each other. ( ) I enjoyed the story, and the twists involved, but I felt the ending was a little bit of a let down, I wanted to know more about what happened further down the line. I'd like to have seen how the school dealt with the bullying better. The trans stuff is all very cliché and a little disappointing. It's the same old narrative of trans people getting beaten up and bullied and talking about how they're 'born in the wrong body'. While this does happen, it doesn't reflect the diversity of trans experiences. A sensitive and honest look at life for the transgender teenager in contemporary Britain. David is very conscious that every passing day makes it more difficult for him to become the girl he has always wanted to be as he grows and changes. It's great that he is, in every other respect, a normal teenager despite being labelled a freak by certain people in his year group. The introduction of Leo, a new boy from the wrong side of the town and with an air of mystery about him, provides the spark to ignite change in David's life. They become friends and Leo's complicated life is revealed to the reader and to David. Characters are believable, and Leo especially is beautifully drawn. Highly recommended. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
