Symptoms of Being Human By Jeff Garvin

Would you recommend this book? If so, who would you recommend it to, and why? If not, why not?

Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin is a thought-provoking book about closeted gender fluid teenager Riley, and their struggle to come out to believe in themselves, and come out. It is a very interesting read that exposes a part of the LGBTQ+ community that doesn’t usually get talked about. All the characters, but Riley in particular, are written very relatably, even though, in actuality, I haven’t ever experienced anything closed to anything Riley has. The whole book was very well written and describes gender fluidity in- what I thought- was very realistic light. Overall, I would recommend the book to anyone who wanted to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community, or was just looking for a good book.
