Brendan is having an identity crisis. Vanessa is his girl friend and very much a tom boy. They are both on the wrestling team.
Angel is a transgendered working at the center for LGBT youth. Angel has had a very rough life.
All these youth all come together in different ways.
I loved that his book was told in verse and the many point of views. I could feel Brendan's pain and his questioning. I do hope that this book can help someone who is questioning their orientation. I don't know of anyone personally who has changed their gender. I do know and understand that this can be serious cause of why kids commit suicide.
Book Review= B
thanks so much to Macmillan for the book and this is my Honest Review
This book comes out Oct 22 and this author is local to me
I'm reading this soon, I hope I like it--I'm a little nervous about the verse thing, but so far the ratings I've seen have been really good!
