Finished the book
Liz knows that he is a boy but he was born a girl. If he can just make it through his high school graduation, he can start his life as Gabe. His family is not thrilled with the idea. To make things more difficult he has a crush on his best friend, Paige. He is bullied by his classmates. His friendship with his neighbor and his love of music are his lifesaver.
I give this book five out of five stars. I will not be adding it to the middle school library collection. The main character is eighteen years old. Cronn-Mills writes about Gabe wearing a prosthetic device. There are other details of the story that speak to an older reader. I think this book would be a great addition to a high school library.
