Symptoms of Being Human

I temporarily received an ARC of this book and while a review isn't mandatory, I'm sharing my thoughts anyway.

Wow. This was really powerful–I know I'll be thinking about it for a while, and there were many moments that brought me close to tears. Still have to sort out my feelings, but this is an important book and I'm so glad Riley's story is being told. We need it.

The story of a genderfluid kid's coming to terms with themself as well as the world around them. It alternates between seeming very real and seeming very fictional, if that makes sense. Riley's (the main character) emotions and feelings definitely come across as authentic, but you're going to need some gloves to make your way through the kitchen sink of plotting.
