Více o knize

A sensitive portrait of a young man hiding his true identity, told from the perspective of his sister. Sixteen-year-old Regan does everything for her older brother Liam, but it weighs heavily on her that she is the only one who knows about his two identities. Liam is transgender, a girl in a male body. Night after night, he transforms into the girl Luna with the help of wigs and dresses to give space to his true self. By day, Liam plays the role of the charming boy and exemplary student, pretending to be the real guy in front of their father. Since childhood, he has only dated Ally, his best friend, who hopes for an intimate relationship with him. Regan, on the other hand, is seen as a loner, as carrying Liam/Luna's secret paralyzes her social life. When Chris, a new classmate, shows interest in her, Regan's longing for normalcy becomes overwhelming. As she tries to lead a typical teenage life, Liam/Luna makes life-changing decisions. He has long been in contact online with a woman who has a transgender past, and meeting her reveals to Liam that there is a future for Luna, prompting him to begin preparing for his own transition. When Liam comes out to Ally and their parents as Luna, worlds collapse.
