Things are going well for Logan Witherspoon. It’s his senior year, he’s a track star, and he’s madly in love with his girlfriend of 3 years. What could go wrong? Well, for starters, she could break up with you. Nursing a broken heart, Logan doesn’t think he can ever get over his first girlfriend. That is, until Sage unabashedly sits next to him during dissection lab. The new girl is fun, smart, and mysterious and tall, and Logan is falling fast. That is, of course, until Sage confides in him that she is transgender. The realization sends Logan into a confusing sea of emotions. Can he be the friend that Sage so desperately needs? Or will his growing attraction spell trouble for he and the girl who’s Almost Perfect?

''This is a beautiful story that really depicts just how cruel, confusing, intense, and beautiful love can be. It also wonderfully depicts what life is like for many Trans teens. This is definitely an important read!''
