Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family by Amy Ellis Nutt

I just finished reading Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family by Amy Ellis Nutt. I've been looking forward to this one for a long time! For those of you who don't know, this is the true story of an inspiring and brave transgender girl, her family, and her identical twin brother and the journey that had to underwent in order to ensure that their daughter was treated fairly.

This is a beautiful story about being true to yourself and how important it is to stand up for what you believe in. I greatly appreciated how informative and inspirational this book is. It does a wonderful job of explaining the struggles that the family endured and that many transgender children have to experience on a daily basis. I do wish, however, that the narration was told more through the perspective of Nicole and her brother rather than the perspective of the parents. I would have been more interested to hear about the experiences that the family went through, through the voices of the teens. Nevertheless, this story was very powerful and moving.
