I really enjoyed and related to this book. A couple quick thoughts/comments:

-There is one really brutal/scary potentially triggering scene that seems like it might result in a sexual assault (it doesn't, but keep this in mind when you recommend it to folks).
-The moral of the story is great: girls can be however they want to be. Being boyish doesn't make you not a girl.
-That said, I kind of wish Liz had addressed that for some of us who feel like boys, learning that we're boyish girls isn't enough. Some of us really are boys, or gender nonconforming in other ways (and not just gender presentation nonconforming).

All in all, I recommend this highly to pretty much anyone who has grappled with being an outcast, being bullied, feeling that societal expectations don't work for them, etc. etc.
