"Getting through a day of middle school can be hard for anyone. But for Ash, who cycles between genders, it's extra tricky. Sometimes Ash feels undoubtedly girl, but other times, 100 percent guy. An act as simple as walking into a bathroom, in full view of classmates, can feel like committing to one gender for life...and Ash isn't there yet. Might never be. Then there's Daniel. He cries. A lot. About animals, his parents' impending divorce, and his best friend who ditched him. Everyone says he's overly sensitive, and he agrees. It's not like he wants to be this way. He just is. Their lives intersect when Daniel rescues a Pomeranian from being euthanized and Ash offers much-needed help. But things get complicated fast. Ash develops more-than-friend feelings for Daniel, who thinks Ash is all girl. And Daniel finds himself falling for Ash--the only person who appreciates that his big emotions and leaky eyes reveal a heart that beats pure compassion. With so much on the line--truth, identity, acceptance, and the life of an adorable pup named Chewbarka--will Ash and Daniel forever feel at war with themselves because they don't fit into the world's binaries? Or will their friendship help them embrace the beauty in the crossfade?"--Back cover.
