Book: Two Truths and A Guy
Author: Jeannine Henvey
Book Series: Standalone
Rating: 1/5
Diversity: trans MC
Recommended For...: can’t recommend, DNFed
Publication Date: October 21, 2021
Genre: YA Contemporary
Recommended Age: DNFed, can’t recommend but there is a lot of deadnaming, misgendering, and homophobia in the book. There’s also some disordered eating in the book that is shown.
Explanation of CWs: see above
Publisher: Fire & Ice Young Adult Books
Pages: 323
Synopsis: (not including due to issues with the synopsis including deadnaming and misgendering).
Review: DNFed at 13% and skimmed through the rest. So I got the book for early review, but after seeing all of the issues surrounding the book, including dead-naming and misgendering a trans character, I do not feel inclined to read this one any further. I do see where the author has replaced the synopsis, but the issues remain. The book focuses on Stella and it’s almost just a whole book devoted to her and her pity party about her twin. There’s a ton of homophobia in the book, a lot of misgendering, and deadnaming. The book has been triggering for many trans own voice readers and I urge you to look into their reviews. There is also disordered eating shown in the book, which was triggering for me.
Verdict: No.
