Wow. Easily one of the best books I've ever read.

First off, it should be noted that I read this entire book in one glorious sitting. It was THAT good. One day. 5-6ish hours with one break to eat. I could not put this down.

George's story is empowering while also being educating-- to not only Black queer people, but also people who are LGBTQIA+ allies, those struggling with gender identity themselves, those raised in large families, and a plethora of other "labels."

This book talks about race, gender, sexuality, abuse, loss, and more. It has it all.

This book would be super beneficial to all Black American teens, as Johnson talks about race and the struggles of living as a Black American teen in the 90s.

This book would also be super beneficial to any teen, or adult, struggling with their gender identity, or anyone who wants to learn about the different genders (girl, boy, non-conforming, etc.).

Seriously, y'all. I can't recommend this one enough. Go read it. Now.
