![]() "Like her visual arts students at Kensington, Redgate crafts her characters with delicate lines and strong shadows within a phase of life that is anything but gentle. ![]() No, I don't always think that what a character says, reflects the opinion of the author, but there are so many quotes about equality and feminism in this book, there's no way Redgate doesn't feel the same way. "Redgate vividly captures the world of a cappella, and she uses Jordan’s soul-searching-as well as her family’s financial struggles.to bring freshness and substantial depth to a gender-bending/mistaken identity plot that has a long history in literature and theater." Noteworthy features a lot of amazing quotes, which really reflect how educated Riley Redgate is. This is not a story of having to hide who you are, but rather a story of finding who you are." Publication Date: About the Author Riley Redgate is a graduate of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. "It is refreshing to read a story about someone dressing as the opposite sex and not have the main tension be about someone finding out. This fun novel pushes against gender norms and will resonate with many teens." ![]() ![]() "Setting and plot delightfully incorporate the arts, with themes of romance and self-awareness woven in. delightfully wrapped up in a fun, compelling package of high-school rivalries, confusing romances, and a classic Shakespearean case of mistaken identity." "A smart critique of gender roles-male and female-in today’s society. "Redgate deftly harmonizes a lighthearted plot with an exploration of privilege, identity, and personal agency. A heart song for all readers who have ever felt like strangers in their own skins." ![]()
