Amanda Hardy is the new girl in school in Lambertville, Tennessee. Like any other girl, all she wants is to make friends and fit in. But Amanda is keeping a secret. There's a reason why she transferred schools for her senior year, and why she's determined not to get too close to anyone.
And then she meets Grant Everett. Grant is unlike anyone she's ever met--open, honest, kind--and Amanda can't help but start to let him into her life. As they spend more time together, she finds herself yearning to share with Grant everything about herself...including her past. But she's terrified that once she tells Grant the truth, he won't be able to see past it.
Because the secret that Amanda's been keeping? It's that she used to be Andrew.
3/5 stars (liked it)
I felt so bad for Amanda and the way she was treated her whole life. It started with her parents, teachers and classmates. All because she didn't fit society's ideal of what a boy should dress like, act like and be like. Andrew was always Amanda on the inside. Not only did she have that to deal with but she also felt responsible for her parent's divorce. I know this was fictional story but it was based on the author's own personal experience and I'm glad she got to write these down to let people that don't know much about the subject understand it a little more.
