Riley Cavanaugh is many things: Punk rock. Snarky. Rebellious. And gender liquid. Some days Riley identifies like a boy, among others as a woman. But Riley isn’t precisely out however. And between starting a new college and developing a congressman about Symptoms of Being Human father working for reelection in über-conservative Orange State, the pressure-media and otherwise-is accumulating in Riley’s existence.

In the advice of a therapist, Riley starts an anonymous blog to vent those pent-up feelings and tell the truth of what it’s enjoy to be a gender fluid teenager. But just as Riley’s beginning to negotiate in at school-even developing feelings for a incomprehensible outcast-the blog goes viral, and an unnamed commenter discovers Riley’s real identity, threatening exposure. And Riley must make a choice: leave from what the blog offers created-a lifeline, brand-new friends, a reason to trust in-or stand up, turn out, and risk everything.

From debut author Jeff Garvin comes a robust and uplifting family portrait of today’s teen struggling with high school, romantic relationships, and what it means to be always a person.
