![]() ![]() At his newest Texas high school, he's decided he's going to go about incognito. At his last school, he was out as trans and that basically became his sole identity- he was sick of the positive and negative attention surrounding that. Pony is the son of an active military dude and moves around a lot. The cover and blurb make it sound like it's going to be a fluffy, feel-good romance book, but it's actually loaded with some pretty devastating scenes, everything from physical assault to misgendering to use of slurs, and there's a scene at the end that is reminiscent of Boys Don't Cry, only not quite as bad. As others have said, though, I don't think the blurb really sets you up for how intense and angsty this read is going to be. I bought STAY GOLD a while ago and was really excited to read it after one of my friends gave it a very high review. ![]()
