Just Happy To Be Here
YA contemporary
a Indian-American trans girl at an all-girls school trying to make friends and get treated like any other girl at school
she also wants to get into the exclusive old-fashioned school sisterhood with a rumored scholarship, but is thrust into a larger argument about whether the club should exist at all
about just wanting to be a normal messy teen girl during the current rise of transphobic legislation in the US

The scene where the cps (?) person comes to her house is. pretty#horrifying. I also appreciated the extensive author’s note about this.#sapphic books#trans books#oh also I love the design choice for this cover. very different from the current trends.#photos can be used in meaningful ways in cover design i promise. it's not all the bad photoshop of the 2000s
