My feelings are all over the place on this one but I know one thing: I really did enjoy it. NONE OF THE ABOVE tells a story that needs to be read, and Kristin's journey held my attention for its entirety. However, I did have some minor issues with it. 
 There were a few bumps in the road plot-wise, I thought some events seemed thrown-in and too convenient, one being the romance that was predictable and yet still managed to come in out of nowhere.(view spoiler)[The love interest had a girlfriend and everything seemed just peachy in their relationship until all of the sudden, at the very end of the book, he says they broke up and him and the main character end up together. (hide spoiler)]The ending itself was resolved quickly, neatly, and therefore, a little unrealistically. 
 NONE OF THE ABOVE hits home for me because of the cruelty the main character Kristin experienced-it reminded me of my own high school where two people committed suicide in one year because of the same issue. It's heartbreaking how she is treated, teased, and bullied. 
 Although Kristin and I have very different personalities, I could relate to her and feel for her so much, which, I think, is the very definition of awesome writing. So much depth is given to her character she doesn't even seem like a fictional character anymore. 
 I was also glad to see that this book did not pull any punches when it came to talking about intersexuality, it was honest and truly refreshing. A lot of research obviously went into the book and you can tell, it is very informational but not overly so. It was very well written, but there were a few comments about "hermaphrodites" and Catholics that did bother me. 
 Overall, I loved the message of this book and I think it has the ability to really help, or at least educate, a lot of people, which is no light task for a young adult fiction novel.
