Book Review: None of the Above by I.W. Gregorio

Publish Date: April 7, 2015
352 pages [Kindle edition]
Balzar + Bray 

Synopsis:
A groundbreaking story about a teenage girl who discovers she was born intersex . . . and what happens when her secret is revealed to the entire school. Incredibly compelling and sensitively told, None of the Above is a thought-provoking novel that explores what it means to be a boy, a girl, or something in between.

What if everything you knew about yourself changed in an instant?

When Kristin Lattimer is voted homecoming queen, it seems like another piece of her ideal life has fallen into place. She's a champion hurdler with a full scholarship to college and she's madly in love with her boyfriend. In fact, she's decided that she's ready to take things to the next level with him.

But Kristin's first time isn't the perfect moment she's planned--something is very wrong. A visit to the doctor reveals the truth: Kristin is intersex, which means that though she outwardly looks like a girl, she has male chromosomes, not to mention boy "parts."

Dealing with her body is difficult enough, but when her diagnosis is leaked to the whole school, Kristin's entire identity is thrown into question. As her world unravels, can she come to terms with her new self?

Bout of Books 19 [Finish Line]

As I guessed, I didn't read during the day yesterday - just that very little bit after midnight. Today is Mother's Day and my husband's birthday, so I don't think much reading will happen today either. Overall, I am very excited with how this readathon turned out. I will update this post tomorrow morning as a finish line-style post! :)

[FINISH LINE]
I updated with the couple of pages I read on Sunday. I knew it wasn't going to be much, but I did read a little bit, accomplishing my goal of reading every day. I finished 3 books and read a total of 639 pages. So happy with that!

Bout of Books 19 [Day 6]

I finished 2 books yesterday. TWO. I read a total of 377 pages. I'm so excited about this. I haven't had this good of a BOB readathon in I don't know how long! Shortly after midnight (into Day 6), I finished a third book. I decided to pick up None of the Above which I just got approved for on NetGalley. It's about a girl who finds out she is intersex, so I'm sure it will be a fascinating one-of-a-kind read. I am starting this morning at 3% (about 10 pages in of 352). I am sure the weekend is bound to be a little busy, so I may not get as much reading done, but I am already so happy with how much I have done in the readathon.

Finally got some good reading done yesterday -- 81 pages! I am now 66% through The Hanging Girl. My mini goal is to finish it today and start another book. I'm really hoping I can do so. I'm also planning on spending today to visit other BOB readers and leave them a little comment love! Starting point today is page 197 in The Hanging Girl.
