"Symptoms of Being Humans" by Jeff Garvin
Riley is a lot of things: punk rock, snarky, rebellious, and gender fluid. Except its a secret. Their new school doesn't know. Their father, a congressman re-running for his seat, doesn't know (not their mother either, mind you).
After the advice from Riley's therapist, they start an online blog detailing their life, their gender fluidity, their struggles. It becomes a beacon, a saving grace for many. Many like Riley who had turned to the internet for understanding one's body, one's sexuality, one's gender.
What happens when the secret blog isn't so secret anymore?
I had a pretty good understanding of gender fluidity before reading this book. After? I felt like I had the insider's scoop. Everyone needs to read this book? Everyone needs to understand, to accept, to love.
Love is love is love.
