Day #11, I am J by Cris Beam. When I first was on the hunt for lgbtq+ books back in high school, this was one of the first books I read with a trans character front and center. One aspect I really liked about this book is the main character not white, I feel like that gave a little more dynamics to the story and amazing to have more diversity in books. That being said I cannot speak to the authentic feelings of a transition as, myself I am cis. WARNING: this book does cover a couple of different hard topics as well including eating disorders and self harm. Thus I would recommend it for YA/teen crowd.
