Appreciated a book about an intersex character that makes clear the difference between sex, gender identity, and sexuality. Good diversity of secondary characters and glad that all the characters made responsible choices in their teen decisions (sex with condoms and drinking with DDs and parental consequences). However, the writing was just so/so, the running was ok but not super realistic to track athletes, and there was too much of a “marriage plot” with the book ending only when the female-identifying main character received positive affirmation of desire from her male object of interest. Had a chance to really make this book super affirming and kind of blew it with such a stereotypical ending and lack of attention to details. 3/5
