Max is transgendered, his body possesses both male and female
genitalia. Add a rape scene in the opening chapters and this hardly
seems like a young adult novel. The book is told from multiple points
of view, at least the narrator's name heads each section. The
language seems aimed at teenagers not adults but the philosophical
and psychological discussions are very mature. Some of the
philosophical discussions distract from the narrative flow but on the
whole this book tackles a difficult subject with candour and empathy.
