TW: Outting, transphobia, homophobia, bullying

This book was highly offensive to trans people. As a trans person, I was so uncomfortable reading the main character use derogatory slurs and not learning from her mistakes. As well as the side characters and no one learned from their mistakes? They were forgiven for outting her to the whole school and I'm sure that it wouldn't have been so dramatic. Also, the main character met a lesbian character, who is also intersex and told her that she was scared that she would turn gay from being intersex and told the lesbian character that girls would be more understanding, so it would be easier to just be gay and she didn't learn from that either!!!!!!!!

I just couldn't believe some of the things I had to read in this book and that the author thought it was okay to use them?? Also, after reading her authors note I was appalled to read that she was inspired to write this because of an intersex patient she had who's story HAUNTED HER? And she was still curious how she was living her life and having sex which shouldn't be any of her damn business.

Ugh, this book should've been executed so much better. I saw what the author was going for, but she shouldn't have wasted her time.

I wish I could say the only thing I liked was that it had hockey incorporated yet, one of the characters insulted the Rangers goalie, one of the best goalies in the NHL.
