Where's the movie?....I'm waiting

Very entertaining movie and can visualize it being put on the big screen. Movies are for entertainment and this story is that.
Overall, it was a great read. Thanks Meredith, jcc

Very Good Transgender YA Romance

As a trans woman myself, I really enjoyed If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo. The story was charming and entertaining, and touched on a lot of feelings and fears I had growing up, and transitioning. There were points in the story that made me cry, some that made me laugh, and overall it was very enjoyable. My only complaints are that, by the author's own admission in the final chapter, Amanda was too perfect. She was completely passable, was able to transition before she started to suffer the effects of male puberty, and nothing was going to give her away, unless she told someone. This, of course, is her big mistake. But all-in-all, I felt she had it way too easy. Her father never misgenders her, never calls her by her dead name by mistake, it was just too easy for her. But still, I enjoyed the story, and I have to say the narrator, Samia Mounts, was awesome! She is easily the best narrator of any audio book I've ever heard. I highly recommend If I Was Your Girl, by Meredith Russo.

My heart fell apart ..

No words can express how I feel after reading this book . I am and forever a fan . As a 29 year old transgender woman I felt like i had walked in Amanda's shoes per say . I think any human being who reads this book will gain insight into a trans persons mind , world , whatever . I can't even put into words about this book . truly amazing would not begin to describe , outstanding , marvelous all of the above . it felt so real like walking besides her on her journey . I can't wait to see what Meredith writes next . and the narrator kept me on edge the whole story amazing job . in so many words I love it .
