Stay Gold by Tobly McSmith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Senior Year of High School is always hard and full of changes. For Pony it's even more so. He's facing Senior Year in a new school and he has a secret... he's Trans and working to to Pass stealthily (no one knows). He's dealing with a former military father who does not accept that his daughter is now his son and a good friend who wants him to be out and proud. But on the first day of school he meets Georgia - one of the "it girls" of the cheer-leading team and he falls head over heals.
Georgia is looking forward to her Senior Year of High School. Despite having a humiliating break-up over the summer she is going to enjoy her final year. Then on the first day of school her eyes lock on the new boy in school. But what's a girl to do when she's vowed to give up dating for the year and just focus on living her best life?
++++
This is an 'own voices' and a YA book so it's hard for me to give a critique as I am neither trans nor the target age group. I found the book OK and can see how certain members of the age group the book is aimed at would enjoy it.
