The story follows David and Leo, David wants to be a girl while Leo simply wants to be invisible so, of course, a friendship emerges.
At the beginning, I felt like it was slow starting but as you get about a quarter of the way through I felt like it soon quickened in pace. Written through dual perspectives, I liked it due to the diversity you get from it by being able to see into two characters minds. The character of David I liked although I times I found him to be over the top, but I did like him and the relationship he has with his two best friends along with his family. Leo and his relationships merely extend to his family but I feel like this was good since we are able to understand his character more.
However, I am slightly disappointed by the ending. Although it was concluded to a sense I feel that it could have been extended upon and certain parts of the book removed but it was a good book. The diversity of the subject is hardly ever spoken about and I doubt I have seen a book on the market which deals with the issues about this topic.
I would suggest that many others read this book since I feel that it shares a good story but also gives an education and answer to a topic which is rarely spoken about when it should be. I have a feeling perhaps a sequel would continue the story? I don't know, but what I do know is that I did enjoy this book overall and hope others will read it too.
