Every birthday two friends always meet up. They were born in the same hospital on the same day in the same year. The one thing that keeps them together is American football. 

I really liked the book. It was so emotional and nearly had me in tears. I’m so glad it had a happy ending because if it didn’t I wouldn’t have coped. The transphobia and the homophobia was a lot but it was probably the right amount for a small town unfortunately. I would definitely not recommend reading it if that would affect you. 
I liked how it skipped years. It meant that the story could progress and we could see the progression of Morgan’s mom’s letters/DVDs. We could also see them growing up and it didn’t take forever.

I really loved this book. It was interesting to see how the main characters evolved and developed and eventually found themselves. The book gives a window into Morgan and Eric’s minds, there relationship with each other and also with themselves. I like how the story didn’t feel sugar coated it seems real and raw. 
Additionally I found it really interesting seeing into Morgan’s mind throughout her struggles to accept and love her true self and her journey of self discovery. 

Loved this and recommend it!

this is a very important, hard-hitting story
of all the lgbtq+ books out there, i feel like the trans comunity is one of the least represented. I myself did not have a lot of knowledge on the subject, this book is one of the first steps for a very important cause
