A moving YA debut about a trans boy finding his voice--and himself
Dean Foster knows he's a trans guy. He's watched enough YouTube videos
and done enough questioning to be sure. But everyone at his high school
thinks he's a lesbian--including his girlfriend Zoe, and his theater
director, who just cast him as a "nontraditional" Romeo. He wonders if
maybe it would be easier to wait until college to come out. But as he
plays Romeo every day in rehearsals, Dean realizes he wants everyone to
see him as he really is now--not just on the stage, but everywhere in
his life. Dean knows what he needs to do. Can playing a role help Dean
be his true self?
After being cast as Romeo in the school play, Dean realizes he wants everyone to see him as he really is, a male, and not just play one on the stage, despite the risk of losing everything.
