Description

Melissa has always felt like she’s living in the wrong body, and the world’s expectations only make that truth harder to carry. When she must navigate school, friendships, and the pressure to “be” someone else, her courage is tested in small, everyday moments that can change everything. This story follows Melissa as she seeks honesty, belonging, and the right to be seen—exploring identity, empathy, and what it means to support someone through change. Written with Alex Gino’s clear, compassionate voice, the novel offers an accessible, emotionally resonant look at transgender experience and the power of understanding.
