There are four of us dudes sitting here right now, and I kick all of their butts when it comes to video games- and I'm not even a dude in the first place. Maybe I'm being a little cocky here, but it's true. My brother says I'm a little psycho, loading my gun and rushing for the middle of the battle, and yeah, sometimes I end up getting my butt kicked. But usually he's there, covering me with his sniper skills, so we both come out on top.

Pen is a girl that likes typically boy-ish things. Does that make her a boy? She doesn't think so. Pen fights to be who she is, but at what price?
PROS
- original plot
- realistic characters and storyline
- a balance of funny and emotional
- great character development
- couple goals
CONS (personal)
- not addicting
I honestly loved that book. The characters, the plot, the interactions, everything was well-written. Even though I would recommend this book to everyone who likes teen fiction and LGBTQ+ content, this book did not stand out for me. Maybe it was because I don't really relate Pen.

Résumé
All Pen wants is to be the kind of girl she’s always been. So why does everyone have a problem with it? They think the way she looks and acts means she’s trying to be a boy—that she should quit trying to be something she’s not. If she dresses like a girl, and does what her folks want, it will show respect. If she takes orders and does what her friend Colby wants, it will show her loyalty.
But respect and loyalty, Pen discovers, are empty words. Old-world parents, disintegrating friendships, and strong feelings for other girls drive Pen to see the truth—that in order to be who she truly wants to be, she’ll have to man up.
