At eleven-year-old Liv's new school, boys can wear pants, but "girls must wear a black, pleated, knee-length skirt." And while narrator Liv might "look like a girl...on the inside, I'm a boy." Strong-willed, introspective Liv is a likable and relatable protagonist navigating friendships, identity, and relationships at home with his two supportive moms. A touching novel on a timely subject.

Faith's life has mostly revolved around her older sister Laurel's disappearance thirteen years ago at age six. Then Laurel reappears in front of their old family home. Between family drama and an unavoidable "tell-all" book deal, Faith struggles with the feeling that something is off with her sister. Drama, mystery, and a dark twist, all mixed with unexpected romance, will draw readers in.
