#19 - None of the Above by I.W. Gregorio
On this episode we discuss the Books & Boba Book Club pick for June 2017, None of the Above by I.W. Gregorio. A YA novel about a homecoming queen who finds out that she was born intersex, and what happens when her secret is leaked to her entire school. It's a story of coming to terms with one's identity, dealing with bullying, and the importance of support in times of crisis.
