That’s not me. 
I’m just hidden in this body.

Ros has finally found Eddy, the girlfriend they’ve always wanted. But Ros can’t tell her the truth: that Ros is trans, and wants to live in a male body. 

After a party Ros’s classmates “discover” they are a lesbian – but the inaccurate label is hurtful. 

Ros knows only one thing will make them happy. But telling the world a truth you’ve hidden all your life is scary. Maybe it would be easier to live a lie? The homophobic comments are already bad enough. 

And if the truth comes out – what is Ros’s next move? And what will happen when Eddy finds out?

"This was an alternative read but I felt I lived and breathed every emotion with Ros as the pages turned - hoping that the conclusion would be a good one - a must read!! Chris Ricketts is a truly inspirational writer." – ***** reader review

"Moving. Intense. Unusual. Challenging.
Devoured in a single day.
Aristotle said, ‘Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.’ This is a book about leaving no stone unturned until you secure understanding and acceptance from the person who matters most. Yourself." – ***** reader review
