A moving YA debut about a trans boy finding his voice - and himself.

Dean Foster knows he’s a trans guy. He’s watched enough YouTube videos and done enough questioning to be sure. But everyone at his high school thinks he’s a lesbian - including his girlfriend, Zoe, and his theater director, who just cast him as a “nontraditional” Romeo. He wonders if maybe it would be easier to wait until college to come out. But as he plays Romeo every day in rehearsals, Dean realizes he wants everyone to see him as he really is now - not just on the stage, but everywhere in his life. Dean knows what he needs to do. Can playing a role help Dean be his true self?

I really enjoyed the engaging writing style and the characters. The experiences of a transmasc teen really resonated with me, as i am transmasc myself.
I also think the combination of these struggles with the play "Romeo and Juliet" was well executed.
Sometimes story elements felt a bit awkward for me, but that is maybe because i am already 25 haha
The reading was great to listen to, even thoug sometimes it got a bit hard to hear for a few seconds, but that was only a few times of the audiobook.

A good depiction of transmasc teen struggles
