Two boys. Two secrets.
David Piper has always been an outsider. His parents think he’s gay. The school bully thinks he’s a freak. Only his two best friends know the real truth – David wants to be a girl.
On the first day at his new school Leo Denton has one goal – to be invisible. Attracting the attention of the most beautiful girl in year eleven is definitely not part of that plan.
When Leo stands up for David in a fight, an unlikely friendship forms. But things are about to get messy. Because at Eden Park School secrets have a funny habit of not staying secret for long…
I won this book forever ago. I went into it, without knowing a lot, except one boy wanted to be a girl and the other was keeping a big secret. Now for the life of me, i never clocked onto said secret till it was revealed. Either i'm slow or the book handled the reveal great.
I adored David as a character, he's innocence was wonderful and he's friends were great. I loved when he became Kate and the difference in the two people were mindblowing. Kate was confident, and reveled in the attention, in actually being someone who she wanted to be.
Leo was everything David wasn't. He was fierce, didnt' take prisoners but had a kind heart when you broke through that tough guy exterior.
Together David & Leo seemed a very unlikely pair and i enjoyed reading their change in friendship. I loved how they both understood one another and how eventually Leo gave David the confidence to tell he's family and be true to himself.
The ending of the book, with the prom and Kate and Olivia dancing was the best bit for me. I just loved the whole idea of Kate's sister slowly accepting what was going on.
