This was a lovely story of Lexi, formerly Alexander, and her fight not to fall in love with John, a championship skier. Although she is still biologically a man, Lexi has been confirming her identity by living as a woman for the past several years. She was kicked out by her family and has been living with her best friend and working as a waitress ever since graduating high school. Living in Park City, UT, has given Lexi the opportunity to indulge in her passion, skiing. When she witnesses the collision of a large bird with a skier, she rushes to help not knowing that meeting the man will change her life forever. She and John are immediately attracted to each other, but she insists that they can only be friends. As they grow closer and spend more time together, Lexi knows that she will eventually have to tell him the truth. Solid and empathetic writing and a unique main character in Lexi made this a sensitive portrayal of gender identity and sexuality. 133 pages (Kindle edition).
