A groundbreaking story about a teenage girl who discovers she's intersex . . . and what happens when her secret is revealed to the entire school. Incredibly compelling and sensitively told, None of the Above is a thought-provoking novel that explores what it means to be a boy, a girl, or something in between.What if everything you knew about yourself changed in an instant?When Kristin Lattimer is voted homecoming queen, it seems like another piece of her ideal life has fallen into place. She's a champion hurdler with a full scholarship to college and she's madly in love with her boyfriend. In fact, she's decided that she's ready to take things to the next level with him.But Kristin's first time isn't the perfect moment she's planned--something is very wrong. A visit to the doctor reveals the truth: Kristin is intersex, which means that though she outwardly looks like a girl, she has male chromosomes, not to mention boy "parts."
Dealing with her body is difficult enough, but when her diagnosis is leaked to the whole school, Kristin's entire identity is thrown into question. As her world unravels, can she come to terms with her new self?

Why am I waiting?
I admit, a big reason why I want to read this book is the fact that I have never read a book about intersex. In fact, I don't really fully understand intersex and didn't really know it was a thing that really happened until recently. But this book just sounds so interesting!

I got to read this in advance and it was my first intersex book as well. It was absolutely unique and I just adored it! I hope you love it as much as I did. :)

I'm really excited to read this one! It'll definitely be different for me, but I'm looking forward to reading a book with an intersex character. I don't know much about it either.
ReplyDeleteBeen hearing a lot of good things about this one from pretty much everyone who's read it, haven't gotten to it yet, but have high expectations!
