Review:

This was such a good book! I love how it told a queer story in such a normal way. I also really enjoyed how the main character was trans but in a different way. It was explained by the alien side of herself. So much of this book was great. I love that DC is producing more queer-friendly books. I also am like, why is she not in one of the DC movies? It would be such a moneymaker to have a trans queer main character! This book had great artwork and a wonderful story! It was good in so many ways!

Trigger Warnings:
Transphobia

Synopsis From Book:

Taylor Barzelay has the perfect life. Good looks, good grades, a starting position on the basketball team, a loving family, even an adorable corgi. Every day in Taylor’s life is perfect. And every day is torture. Taylor is actually the Galaxy Crowned, an alien princess from the planet Cyandii, and one of the few survivors of an intergalactic war. For six long, painful years, Taylor has accepted her duty to remain in hiding as a boy on Earth. That all changes when Taylor meets Metropolis girl Katherine “call me Kat” Silverberg, whose confidence is electrifying. Suddenly, Taylor no longer wants to hide, even if exposing her true identity could attract her greatest enemies. From the charming and brilliant mind behind the popular podcast The Voice of Free Planet X, Jadzia Axelrod, and with stunningly colorful artwork by Jess Taylor comes the story of a girl in hiding who must face her fears to see herself as others see her: the prettiest star.
