Welcome to Litsy!

The truth is that the writing quality and side mystery isn't the best. But this novel wins my vote for its portrayal of both a homosexual transgender main character, as well as an /asexual/ main character. This book gave a voice to asexual teenage experiences that has been missing in the YA market. It's not the only voice, we need more, but it's an amazing start and I'm so proud of the author for being a pioneer in writing asexuality for teens.

This YA novel is notable for its treatment of important issues that are seldom addressed: asexuality, transgenderism, gender-variant identity, and romantic relationships between people of different sexual orientations. The novel starts off slow, with clunky dialogue and situations that don't ring authentic, but quickly finds its stride, and is worth reading for its warm, compassionate look at two teens --one trans, one asexual-- falling in love.

The main character's 85-year-old great-aunt has a Kindle named Clio, after the Greek muse of history! 💜💜💜

Cute but a bit too simplistic for me.

Cute! Weak writing in places and a few too many subplots, but the central story was solid and adorable.

Just started this one! (I'm trying to get through more of my Netgalley requests than I have historically.) the writing is a little simple, but otherwise so far so good.
