This book covers some highly controversial topics. Joey has recently changed schools and in meeting new people, he has space to consider and reflect on whether his transition from girl to boy is really what he wants. It seems someone is influencing his transition.

Plausible Liar sounds like a very interesting book to read. This is a current issue that our country face's, one no one wants to really talk about. I have to admit that the thought of men identifying as woman using the ladies restroom scares me. Especially at school. Great honest review. Thank you

Freedom of choice has placed it all on free citizens, gender choice is supposed to be natural regardless of your opinion but people's choice differs. I think this is a must read book for me
