Reviews

"Riley is a smart, funny, sharp-eyed force" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"One of the first YA books to deal with the complex issue of gender fluidity...Riley's emotional life and personal growth shed welcome light on a hitherto obscure subject." -- Booklist (starred review)"Vibrantly imagined...a welcome mirror for gender-fluid teens." -- Kirkus Reviews"With a main character who truly deserves to be called unique, combined with heartbreak and triumphs that are universal, this unforgettable book made me laugh, and also cry: Garvin's powerful new voice rocks!" -- Lissa Price, international bestselling author of Starters"Riley Cavanaugh is a sharp, funny, powerful voice for those who haven't quite found theirs yet. Both highly entertaining and highly necessary, Symptoms is the kind of book that makes you a better human for having read it. I loved it." -- Dahlia Adler, author of Under the Lights and Just Visiting"A moving portrayal of what it means to be different, yet the same, all at once. Jeff Garvin has written a beautifully thoughtful book." -- Renee Ahdieh, author of The Wrath and the Dawn"An important introduction for readers who know little about gender fluidity and a welcome nod to those who may be experiencing similar feelings." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
