This book is about gender fluid teenager. Riley is the main character. Readers cannot understand Riley's biological gender after reading the book. Jeff Garvin tried very extraordinary writing method, he does not use any pronouns for the main character of the book. Therefore, this book cannot be translated to some sexist languages like Russian :) (or very hard to translate) I think it's an informative and interesting book, especially last 50 pages are very emotional and dramatically. I think movie adaptation of this book will be interesting and the story can reach to more audiences. I might do this in the future, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller and Cara Delevingne will be in the leading roles. A part of Author's Note: "Some of what I learned shocked me: 64 percent of transgender and nonbinary people in the US experience sexual violence in their life -- 12 percent before they graduate hight school. Forty one percent will attempt suicide. Genderqueer and transgender people are four times as likely to live below the powerty line."
