With all due respect to intersex people, I just did not enjoy the dialogue and the style that this story was written. The POV and character switches made it rather convoluted and unnecessary. And the dialogue between each character was…

This book should come with a trigger warning. I started reading this book not knowing anything other than I had to read it for my "Gender and Sexuality in Literature" elective. I was expecting it to be different and interesting like all…

There were moments this book made my heart hurt. I really liked the momentum of the storyline. I actually thought that the author would take this in a different direction (what would happen to his father's campaign if the world got word of…

Good read. The author had a great sense of how each character should be portrayed and how they would act and feel. I felt the ending was a little weak, but all in all a well told story.
