Nick Fraser is a true romantic. He wants the guy instead of the girl, but other than that, he wants everything his favourite rom-coms depict: the courtship, the passionate first kiss, the fairy-tale wedding. But after breaking up with the love of his life, Nick wonders if anything fairy-tale will ever happen for him.Then he meets Katie, who's just like a rom-com heroine. She's sharp, funny, sweet, and as into music and punk culture as Nick is. What's more, he's incredibly attracted to her--even though she's a woman. Nick has never considered that he might be bisexual, but his feelings for Katie are definitely real.When Katie reveals that she's transgender, Nick starts to see how much he doesn't understand about the world, queer identity, and himself. He is hopelessly in love with Katie, but this isn't a fairy tale, and Nick's friends and family may not accept his new relationship. If he wants it all, he has to have the courage to make his fantasy a reality.… (más)

This is an odd book. Other reviewers have talked about how the author is clearly not trans and some have called the book transphobic. I am not trans and don't feel qualified to speak on that, but I will say that it made me very uncomfortable when the waiter at the restaurant calls them "gentlemen," and Katie brushes it off, saying that she gets called "sir" all the time. This also makes no sense, as it has been established earlier in the book that she doesn't look male. Nick sees her as a woman from the moment he meets her, and he has no reason to do so if she doesn't look female. So, either he is really stupid and/or blind, or everyone else is.

The writing is awkward and weird too. It's very tell-y. During make-out and sex scenes, we are told that Nick and Katie exchange "passionate kisses," but there is little passion or heat in the text. I felt nothing. Then, oops, they're in love. I was left wanting so much more. ( )
