it was ok
bookshelves: teenage-kicks

If it wasn't for the whole transgender issue this would have been such a snore fest. In fact, Regan's love affair with Chris reminded me of all the Babysitters' Club books I used to read when I was eleven; clichéd, clumsy and over-the-top "funny". Peters' writing is nothing to get excited about and Luna/Liam comes across as a flaky character who can't help herself and must. cross-dress. at. all. times. Transgender teens (and adults, for that matter) is such an important issue and thus I would actually recommend it as a YA novel. Still I can't help but feel that Luna wouldn't have gotten any attention at all if it was on a less controversial topic.

Julie Walker I agree completely with this review. I so wanted to like this book, having a transgendered person in my life, but I just felt it wasn't doing the issue any justice. And I'm so glad to be free of Regan's whining now that I finished the book!
