What I Think About "Gracefully Grasyon"

The book I have been reading is Gracefully Grayson by Ami Polonsky. This book is about a boy named Grayson. He believes he is a girl on the inside, born into the wrong gender's body. Despite the risks, (of facing rejection, ridicule, or worse) Grayson's true self wants to break free. He also meets a new girl, and they become close friends. An example of this is on page 27, it says,"I remember pink plastic bowls of macaroni and cheese, and juice boxes. My body feels strange, like it's someone else's, and I shudder, because I could be making a huge mistake." This shows how he believes he doesn't belong in his male body, but should belong in a female body. This book is really interesting to read, and I'm glad I chose to read it. I like how this book is a topic that I've never read about before, and I know many people in the world may relate to this situation. The genre of this book is realistic fiction and teen fiction. I tend to lean towards these kinds of genres because I feel as if I could relate more to the book, since the main character is usually aimed towards someone my age. I would recommend this book, and I can't wait to read more of it!
