![]() Her mother and sister are trying to get Lily the help she needs but her father is an obstacle. The first centers on Lily who wants to start hormone therapy before puberty kicks up the testosterone, making hair grow on her face, making her testicles drop, changing her voice, etc. There are two main big topics in this tale. This book addresses several topics which then keeps any single issue from being discussed in depth and, to me, that undermined the importance of this book. But that very fact is what kept me from appreciating the story. I understand this is an important work because it addresses topics generally not discussed in middle grade/juvenile books. I've been sitting on this review for months because of that very conundrum. In said review, karen states that the reader's enjoyment of the book in question should come after the acknowledgement of how important the work is because it's filling a gap that desperately needs representation (to grossly and ineloquently paraphrase) ![]() Karen wrote a superb review for If I Was Your Girl, a YA romance featuring a trans teenager. ![]()
