This is a novel in verse about two trans teens in their last year of high school after growing up together and getting through the ups and downs of life. With interest in the historical woman who dressed as a man in the Revolutionary War and kept doing so post-war sparks the two to write letters to each other when they are forced apart.
I liked this book but had difficulty separating the two characters as two different characters since they seem to be too similar. As in not a distinct voice for each of them. And listening to this book through the audiobook, the narrators' voices are also to similar to clearly say ah yes this is Oliver or This is Erin.
All and all in was cool for a book to acknowledge fellow queers of the past bu could use some improvements.
