I'm really happy that this book exists; I really, really loved Refuse and I'd probably classify it as an (if not the) all-time favorite book of mine. I'm really pleased that Dean gets a further back story. I could really identify with this book as I could with Refuse, too, and the portion of the book where Dean is in elementary school hit a lot close to home for me.
I'd also consider this a good book for teenagers or adults who are currently questioning their gender identity to read; to see if they can relate to it in some way, or because of how information regarding transitioning is written once Dean reaches his realizations, making the idea sound a lot less confusing and a little easier to understand.
