If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo

5.0

Amanda is trans and just moved to a little Tennessee town to live with her dad, starting at a new high school after a bad experience at her last one. She’s swept into the wings of the popular girls at school and things are glorious. She goes to parties, dates a hunk, and gets to have a normal high school experience. The story gets sprinkles of flashbacks of Amanda’s life before and during her transition, which adds so much depth. I was hooked after a few pages, and then had to force myself to put the book down so I could savor it longer. Read this right now, friends. It is so important, and so good.
