You only hurt the ones you love.

Logan Witherspoon recently discovered that his girlfriend of three years cheated on him. But things start to look up when a new student breezes through the halls of his small-town high school. Sage Hendricks befriends Logan at a time when he no longer trusts or believes in people. Sage has been homeschooled for a number of years and her parents have forbidden her to date anyone, but she won't tell Logan why. One day, Logan acts on his growing feelings for Sage. Moments later, he wishes he never had. Sage finally discloses her big secret: she was born a boy. Enraged, frightened, and feeling betrayed, Logan lashes out at Sage and disowns her. But once Logan comes to terms with what happened, he reaches out to Sage in an attempt to understand her situation. But Logan has no idea how rocky the road back to friendship will be.

Evaluate Appertaining To Books Almost Perfect

This novel is tough to rate. On one hand, it's a powerful story about a boy falling for a transgender female. On the other, some aspects weren't handled poorly and some were difficult to read. I considered stopping a couple of times, but the fact the novel won the Stonewall award kept me reading. Overall, I'm glad I finished because though flawed, it's an interesting story that illustrates some of the struggles transgender youth face.

MY OPINION: *****This book dealt with topics that I honestly have never thought to read about before, or I just didn't have a chance to.This book is about a boy named Logan who has just suffered a break-up with his three-year relationship with his girlfriend, Brenda, who cheated on him. He thinks that his luck with girls is basically nothing now...Until he meets Sage, the new girl in his science class.He immediately befriends her, but being a teenage boy, he obviously wants their friendship to

This was a good book. I know that because I wanted to smack the main character upside his self-centered, very true-to-life, homophobic, teenaged boy head. In spite of Logan being the protagonist, I did a little mental cheer when another character told him, "This isn't about you! Because it wasn't. It's not even about Sage. I think it's about society, perceptions, and the horrible experiences of so very many LGBTQ people. Sad but true, Sage actually kind of lucked out. Her parents weren't happy

I wanted to love this book, I did. I just didn't.Let me start off by saying that I am glad there are books out there for teenagers that even attempt to tackle the concept of being transgender. I'm goddamn thrilled. So, really, the rest of this review is nitpicky stuff. The rest of this review is genuinely for a time in the future when books with transgender characters and themes are so mainstream and common that it is no longer necessary to celebrate them as the sole outlets for such themes, or

Most of us, I suspect, have "met somebody" who would be just perfect, except...I look back on some of my "almost perfects," and I cringe at what a douchebag I was.Logan has just broken up with Brenda, and he's not optimistic about his prospects. He's a senior in a tiny high school (50 seniors). I went to a similar school: my class was 44, and it was hard to date girls I'd known since age nine.One day, Sage walks into biology homeroom. Sage is tall, quirky, has a great laugh, and most of all, is



A 3.5 star book, rounded up.The blurb lays out the plot of Almost Perfect neatly: Logan is falling madly for Sage, and then he discovers that she was born a he. So this is much more about Logan's struggle to understand and accept Sage as she is than it is about Sage herself. Logan is, honestly, a bit of a jerk on more than one occassion, to Sage and to other people in his life. And it is completely, entirely realistic. This does not make Logan's narration easy or even pleasant to read at times,
