The Passing Playbook

Love Simon meets Friday Night Lights in this feelgood LGBTQ+ romance about a trans teen torn between standing up for his rights and staying stealth.A sharply observant and vividly drawn debut. I loved every minute I spent in this story - Becky AlbertalliFifteen-year-old Spencer Harris is a proud nerd an awesome big brother and a Messi-in-training. Hes also transgender. After transitioning at his old school leads to a year of bullying Spencer gets a fresh start at Oakley the most liberal private school in Ohio. . At Oakley Spencer seems to have it all: more accepting classmates a decent shot at a starting position on the boys soccer team great new friends and maybe even something more than friendship with one of his teammates. The problem is no one at Oakley knows Spencer is trans - hes passing. . So when a discriminatory law forces Spencers coach to bench him after he discovers the F on Spencers birth certificate Spencer has to make a choice: cheer his team on from the sidelines or publicly fight for his right to play even if it means coming out to everyone - including the guy hes falling for.. Perfect for fans of Red White and Royal Blue.
