I really liked this book. It's ballsy, real and had just the right mix of character and story development.
It's refreshing to see a book tackle a sensitive issue head on like this. I would have like to have read more about George and his struggles to accept himself but perhaps that's a story for another book.
I can't understand why books like this are not on the shelves at bookshops. It's miles ahead of some of the crap that manages to crawl its way onto the shelves *cough"50 shades*cough*
Finally I think the cover could do with a re design to become more eye catching.

I loved this. It struck a chord for me. It starts as though it's simple chick-lit, but gradually seeps into something more considered, more thoughtful and more provocative. It's funny, too, and a real page-turner. I would like everyone to read this book. A lot of people would benefit from it.
