I got this book on a Goodreads Givaway a few months ago. At first I didn't tought that I would like it, it just didn't looked like the type of book that I would normally read but I have to admit that I got completly hooked in just a few pages.
The story is told by the point of view of a 16 years old teenager in the 70's that was accepted early into college. In the begining you can see that that is something different about this boy, that even though he lives like a man, inside he's actually a girl. This is not just a normal transgender case, she's not just a women in a mens body (that it self being a difficult situation) she's a girl that has to pretend to be a boy even though, in the end, something else, she's a hermaphrodite, she has one testicle and one ovary. That's the premisses of this wonderfull story about acceptance and love.
This is a wonderful book and is the type that you find yourself wanting to get inside the story so that you can just scream at some characters (the father!!!) and try to make people talk to each other for more that two seconds and really say what they meant. It's really a beautiful book that I recomend to everybody that want something just totally diferent and interesting.
