None Of The Above

None Of The Above by I.W. Gregorio, 328 pages

Kristin Latimer has a pretty great life.  She's captain of the track team, has a great boyfriend who is also on the team, two best friends, and a scholarship to college at the beginning of her senior year.  She's also voted homecoming queen, which was completely unexpected.  Except for her mother dying from cancer when she was younger, her life is pretty perfect.  But after a visit to the doctor, Kristin finds out that she's intersex.  Although she looks like a girl physically, she actually has a Y chromosome, testes, and no uterus.  Devastated, she doesn't tell anyone at first, except her father.  Eventually, Kristin tells her friends, and unfortunately, the whole school finds out.  Kristin now has not only her own feelings to sort out, but the taunting and bullying from classmates to deal with.  This was an amazing book about a subject that isn't very well known.  Few people understand much about this condition and this book goes a long way towards explaining the basics for teens and also would be helpful for people who are intersex in dealing with their condition.  I would definitely give it to teens who like "issue" books.
