Status Updates From If I Was Your Girl

I am really loving Meredith's writing style and the main character so very much right now.

I feel like this book is going to break my heart . . .

Wow. Finished it within the day. It is such a wonderful read. It's such an important book. I think everyone should read it.

Ahhh! I have been waiting to read this! So excited!

Ahhh I'm loving this so far.

i read the first page of this and then moved house and now i appear to have, er, misplaced it.

I'm not sure why Russo sometimes writes in this "Southern dialect", but it's really distracting especially because it's only certain lines and it's just like... Where did that come from?

Ay no D:

"All I ever, ever want you to worry about is doin' good in school and bein' yourself. Okay?"

"Everybody's got a past, that don't mean you can't have future."

A little simplistic and so far it's predictable, but I like it. I'm surprised that I do, but I do. I hope all's well that ends well...

I'm really loving this. It makes such a difference, reading a book about a trans character by an actual trans author.

I'm dying over this.

I am so in love with this book. no matter who you are, you will take something this book. Cis and trans teens should read it. Parents of trans teens should read it. People who are dealing with the duality of sexuality and faith should read it. People who are dealing with estranged parental situations should read it. Amnada is dealing with so much and I just love her.

"If I'd had the strength to be normal, I thought, or at least the strength to die, then everyone would have been happy." wow, the fact that lgbtqa+ people think this way is one of the saddest things in this world. They deserve to be happy and loved and treated like what they are: human

This is heartbreaking : - (

Este libro es tan Poderoso! Sé que existe más historias relacionadas con el tema, pero vaya, verlo desde el punto de vista de alguien que lo a vivido té deja más.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Empezando esta historia! Nunca antes había leído algo parecido así que haber que tal esta.

I find this an easy read. And finding myself relating to other characters as well, throughout high school.

Fast-paced read. Though I'm cisgender I can relate to Amanda in other aspects of her life through high school

"What if your son told you he was your daughter?" ... "Listen to me." When she spoke next, I listened. "Anything, anyone is better than a dead son."

End of chapter 5 had me in tears .

I have been WAITING to read this book...finally got my hands on it!!!

Enjoying this so far, sometimes forget that Amanda is transgender. Also, Grant is adorable :)

This book is giving me so many emotions. I CAN'T HANDLE THEM.

I do not DNF books. But this is taking me centuries to read. I'm gonna blame work and how busy I've been, but I hope to get back to this book this week.

This book gives me anxiety. So much anxiety.

I want to keep reading but it's so hard to keep my eyes open!!
