I received a copy of this book as part of a goodreads giveaway. All opinions are my own. 
 This may be one of the most eye opening books I have ever read. It has opened my heart in ways I never thought possible. When I finished this book I cried. I cried because I was taken into Amanda's life, world, emotions, mind, and I could never ever imagine or put myself in her shoes and know what she was going through. It is something I will never know or completely understand because I could never put myself in their shoes and trying to image it terrifies me. I thank Meredith Russo for opening my eyes and my heart to what life is like for those who are transgender, gay. lesbian, bisexual, or asexual. 
 This book was excellently written. I felt for Amanda through the entire book. I was shown what life for her was like and how things she went through changed the way she thought and lived her life. I was scared for her and happy all at the same time. This story is truly a treasure to read and it will stay with me forever. I just wanted her to be herself, be accepted, and loved. I was so happy there was such diversity in this book and the fact that it was set in the south. Amanda had great friends (love Layla) and she had a great mom, who was so supportive. Its one thing I loved about this book as well. This is an all around amazing book. 
 I highly recommend this book. I loved it so much and is now one of my favorite books ever. This book has such power and heart.
