“This is a brave book that handles complicated and sensitive topics
honestly and, at times, with humor.”
*Publishers Weekly*
“[A] plainspoken and sometimes humorous memoir…background
information about societal gender expectations and physical
transition processes fit in easily among typical teenage concerns
like love, heartbreak and prom. Friendly and informative.”
*Kirkus Reviews*
“How do you begin to understand who you are when you don’t even
know the word for it, and no one else in your community does
either? Arin Andrews has found the words now, and they’re poignant
and startling.”
*Ellen Wittlinger, award-winning author of Parrotfish, Hard Love
and Love & Lies.*
“Arin’s gutsy and important coming-of-age memoir is a must-read for
anyone who has ever felt alone, marginalized, or ‘other.’ Sad,
funny, and completely real.”
*Susan Kuklin, author and photographer of Beyond Magenta:
Transgender Teens Speak Out*
"[Arin Andrews] writes frankly and bravely about his transition and
romantic relationships. This nonfiction account...is
enlightening."
*School Library Journal*
"Teens will feel for [Arin], root for him, and learn a lot about
the costs and complexities of gender transition."
*VOYA*
