Trying to keep mystery and pull off reveals. Secondly, I feel like the book comes off as a little voyeuristic in Leo, meanwhile, is a new transfer to David’s school who comes from the local council estate and things are left vague about why he’s switched schools in an attempt to build up mystery. David (later named Katie, but blurbs and interviews insist on using her old name and male pronouns so I’ll stick to David so no one gets confused) is a trans girl wanting to come out to her parents and the typical worries faced by teens – school bullies, crushes, being unpopular – and the not so typical that transgender kids experience, like bodily dysphoria.

I didn’t hate this book – in fact, I quite liked large parts of it, but there are a few issues that drag it down. ![]()
