As a person who loves to be taken on an emotional roller coaster ride through a story, this book really did give me that. I've never read a book that involved transgender in it before so it was a new experience and a pleasant one. It really helped me understand some of the troubles people like that really go through and the criticism they receive from those closest to them. And I also get the confusion of those who affiliate themselves with this secret and how hard it can be to understand it and accept it if your mind it not quite open enough for it. I thought the book was beautifully written and even though I did not very much like the ending, it did make sense and really captured the emotion there.
Overall it is a pretty decent read.
