Chris, a transgender boy nearly hits Maria with a car, and that’s how they meet. He’s visiting her town for the summer to get a break from his family and to try to recover from an assault he experienced at school after coming out as trans. Maria is grieving from the sudden death of her older sister. Without intending to, Chris and Maria find themselves tossed together over and over, and before long, start to fall in love.

The storyline is fine but it is somewhat unrealistic that Chris passes 100% of the time as a male. As far as the reader can tell, Chris has not had surgery or undergone extensive hormone treatments, etc., so it just isn’t really plausible that everyone would accept him as a male. That issue aside, readers who enjoyed Love, Simon or Simon and Eleanor may enjoy this book.
