Synopsis 
 Kristin Lattimer has a picture perfect life. She was just voted Homecoming Queen, she's a champion hurdler with a full scholarship to college, and a boyfriend she's madly in love with. In fact, she's ready to take things to the next level with him. But her first time isn't at all what she expected. A visit to the doctor reveals that she's intersex, which means that while she looks like a girl, she has male chromosomes. Dealing with her diagnosis is bad enough, but then it's leaked to the entire school and her identity becomes the focal point of her peers. Can she come to terms with her new self? And how will she be able to explain it to those around her? 
 Thoughts 
 There are very few books that I think everyone should read despite their normal preference of genre, but this is one that I want to throw at everyone. While the term intersex is not a new one to me, there are many people who have never heard of it. Case in point, I mentioned it to a friend who just gave me a blank stare. This book is the start to filling a void in books featuring intersexed characters and it does it in a sensitive and informative way. Kristin's struggle to come to terms with her diagnosis is palpable and the reactions of her peers are rage inducing. There were a few times when I had to step away from the book and the all too realistic reaction of the students bullying Kristin for not fitting into the gender binary. There are some great supportive characters as well. While the ending does feel a bit rushed, this is just a snapshot into Kristin's life. She's only just begun navigating the world as an intersexed person and she has an entire life to live. A book that every public and high school library should have on their shelves.
