I absolutely devoured this book! Spencer was such a loveable character from the start, but I wasn’t expecting to also love his little brother, Theo. Their relationship was so damn adorable! Macintosh was another pleasant, yet welcome, surprise. I had so much sympathy and hope for Justice to get out of his toxic environment too. I didn’t really have any issues with the characters.
I think this story focused on the balance between Spencer’s transgender rights and his (deserved) right to play soccer on the guy’s team. The Passing Playbook reminds me of those inspirational sports movies, which I love! And if no one has told Mr. Fitzsimons that he’s written an amazing book, allow me to say it: MR. FITZSIMONS, I LOVE YOUR BOOK!
