If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo
5.0

4.5 ~ Why did it take so long for me to read this book?
I can't speak on the accuracy of the representation since I am not transgender, but it is #OwnVoices and has positive reviews from trans readers.

I found the gender identity parts brilliant. The perfect amount of info was given, in the perfect way so it wasn't info-dumpy or too hard to understand. It was part of Amanda's story just like anything else.
I loved the very nuanced and realistic relationship she has with both her parents and every other relationship/friendship she forms really does seem realistic and relatable and quite moving.
I believe this book is going to become, if it isn't already, a classic.

The author's note does clear up the minor issue I could have had to share but so I don't have to. :)
