Thank you to Penguin Teen and Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.After reading their spouse's book The Heartbreak Bakery I thought there couldn't be another book that would speak to my own tangled relationship with gender identity and then I read this book. I am in tears up to my soul after reading this. I am in pieces but so full of love and hope for the future. I didn't know how much I needed this book. I haven't completely read all of Cory's backlo...
Such an important story about a swimmer who transitions beyond what they ever knew was possible. This book was a great exploration into different ways you sexuality does not define you but let’s you explore who you really are. This story is the best trans rep I have seen in a long time and one that follows the story of transition from start to end. The nitty gritty of dysphoria to the discovery of their culture, this book really brought a lot of wonderful elements together. My one gripe was that...

Man o' War spans over several years of River McIntyre's life, beginning with a personal realization so sudden and intimidating that they jump into the literal shark tank at the local SeaPlanet.

Man o' War is a blistering novel that caught me in its tide, a fully-rounded and resolute coming

When they cross paths with Indy, River is able to see parts of themself they've never noticed before.This book is an absolutely amazing exploration about discovering who you are and the pain and trauma it can cause when you don't feel l...

i want to read this SO BADLY HELP
*Spoiler free*I legitimately cried over the deal announcement for this book. I was a competitive swimmer for ten years, I'm trans, I've dealt with certain kinds of dysphoria, it was a process to grow into my identity, I've gotten top surgery. I've desperately wanted to read this book since I found out about it, since it seemed like it touch basically hit my right in the chest. Trigger warnings: internalized homophobia, transphobia, self-harm, deadnamingThis book touched upon a part of myself tha...
Arab-American mom is still battling post-911 trauma so she’s desperate to provide a normal, white-identifying life for her family in Ohio. That feels like death to McIntyre, who is conflicted and miserable. McIntyre wonders - she a lesbian? Girlfriend Taylor thinks so, but access to queer support and information is so sparse that McIntyre does not even have the vocabulary to describe the confusion she feels about her body, her identity, her preferences, her pronouns. Though her mother, her swim
